Rowing Hard Benefits Film Fest

The acclaimed and popular film Row Hard No Excuses was given one more showing on Nantucket this past weekend. After its award-winning appearance during 2007's Nantucket Film Festival, Tom Mailhot brought it back for an encore to help raise money for next year's film festival.

Row Hard No Excuses is a film that takes its audience on a three-thousand mile journey across the open ocean, made of two person crews on one boat.

"We chose Row Hard because it won our Best Storytelling in a Documentary Award," said Jill Burkhart, Executive Director of Nantucket Film Festival, "People just loved the film during the festival in June."

This is the first time the film festival has shown a film to help raise funds for next year's big week. "We felt it was kind of fitting for Nantucket and for the summer," continued Burkhart.

Audience member at the benefit screening Robin Grimsley was very pleased by the film and the strong message it sent: "It was a journey, it wasn't just a film. It wasn't coming to see and movie and sitting there."

She continued, "It just took your breath away."
