A pleasant, warm surprise, 16 March 2007

Glacier Bay is one of the sweetest and most poignant short films I've seen on the festival circuit, and I've seen dozens. It recently played the prestigious Sedona International Film Festival. Chances are you'll see your life, or those around you, reflected in Artie and Connie.

Artie (James Noble, who also produced) and Connie (Dorothy Bryce) are in their twilight years, sometimes forgetful and often abrasive, yet somehow managing to elicit some hearty laughs that literally had me falling out of my seat. Attending the confirmation of their cousin Michael, they appear to be the typical aging old codgers with which we are all so familiar. But things are not what they seem, and you are sure to be touched by the give and take of these two marvelous actors and the direction taken by this film.

Glacier Bay is beautifully and elegantly directed by Douglas Moser from a Frederick J. Stroppel script, and shot with loving care by veteran cinematographer Christo Bakalov. Mostly a two-person dialog, the theatrical feel and focus on our two protagonists is so compelling that Glacier Bay will leave you wanting more.

Try to catch Glacier Bay as it makes its rounds of the best festivals. It's a surprising little gem of a film that hit very close to home for me, and will likely do the same for you.
