Friends and EED volunteers Anne and Kurk just as excited to be there.
This evening was the Cottonwood Creek Environmental Film Festival. It featured shorts from various filmmakers on environmental education. Surfrider was there and showed some really great films to educate people on issues such as plastic bag bans and the impact of cigarette butts on the beach. It also had a really great short of the movement to clean up the Tijuana River Mouth Basin. It was really an eye opener at how much trash is in that region. There was even a cool short of our own Rodney McCoubrey.
My favorite part of the night though was the showing of Sprout. It's no secret that Sprout is my most watched film. I've seen it at least 20 times but had never watched it on the big screen until tonight. It was really amazing to be there with that energy and watch a move that I love. It was like meeting up with an old friend and spending time catching up again.
At the end they gave out some really cool prizes. Lots of signed Jack Johnson CD's and DVD's and some cool tees and posters.
All and all it was a great time. Good people with good films, how could you go wrong? I'll see everyone at Cottonwood Creek tomorrow.
