Laura Martier, Director of the Dare County Arts Council
was lovely enough to invite me to an art opening the evening before my
screening and it was a wonderful opportunity to meet the wonderful community of
Kitty Hawk, NC. I met so many people who were talented, warm and inclusive.
The day of my screening was cold, windy and overcast so I
wasn't able to enjoy the beach, unfortunately. Instead, I headed to
Manteo, and went to the Elizabethan
Gardens. These gardens were built in the 1950s to commemorate the first colony
in the New World, which arrived in the 1500's from England. I don't remember
ever learning about The Lost Colony of Roanoke, as it is called, and I enjoyed
the short film. The expedition was organized and financed by Sir Walter
Raleigh.
Fascinating story!
The screening was packed and everyone stayed for
the Q&A. The questions were great and it was a stimulating evening!
