43 Degrees North: A Movie Showing and Q&A

The stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, and… aliens? When a world-renowned author inherits his recently deceased wife’s cottage on an island in Maine, all Raphael wants to do is sell it and move on. But strange things start happening, and for Raphael to accept his future as a widower, he may first need to accept that he’s not as alone as he believes. 43 Degrees North was shot entirely in Maine with local actors. Funded through individual donations and volunteers, it was designed to bring people together and drive interest in community filmmaking. For the first time in a movie, the Calendar Islands were brought together as a singular community. There will be a ½ hour Q&A following the film. Trivia: Filmed on four of the Casco Bay islands: Peaks, Long, Chebeague, and Cliff. Mainland locations include Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, Portland, Brunswick, Augusta, Georgetown, Damariscotta, and Pownal. The primary filming location was the same cottage used in the 1987 movie, THE WHALES OF AUGUST, starring Bette Davis, Vincent Price, and Lillian Gish.
