The Free and Easy screening @ Redondo Union High School's auditorium--an event I was promoting on this blog--was an overwhelming, stoke-and-shock-inducing success! I wanted to thank EVERYONE involved in the screening of Free & Easy to support the non profits CoachArt and the Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation! Whether you bought a raffle and/or screening ticket, were a surf-celebrity guest (Pete Townsend, Mike Purpus, Joel Tudor and Tyler Hatzikian all showed up to support the cause), narrated the movie (that credit goes to Mike Purpus), worked hard to get the event going (CoachArt staff and myself worked alongside Ben and Sofia of Ohana O Kekai; Mike Purpus also did much great behind-the-scenes work), or donated prizes (see below for an index of prize donor websites), you ROCK! A very special thanks goes to the unsung heroes of the film screened--MacGillivary/Freeman films, who captured all of the amazing action of the movie on celluloid in the 1960s, with MUCH heavier equipment than is used today--for letting everyone enjoy the fruits of their hard labor that crystallized the essence of a bygone era.
Many thanks to the Easy Reader for running a preview feature on the event.
