900 Thumbs Up for Eye of Hurricane

450 people who attended the two previews of Eye of the Hurricane in St. Marys gave the locally-filmed production a resounding “Thumbs Up.” Writer and Director Jesse Wolfe attended both showings May 21 and 28. Gregory Cruz, who plays the Seminole in the movie, flew in from L.A. to surprise the audience on the 21^st. Ben Sabet, who played Willis, came in from Charlotte with his family as well. Hundreds of locals who worked as extras were able to see, for the first time, how they contributed to the movie. Several locals had speaking parts including Film Alliance board member L. J. Williams. The movie got great reviews, and everyone  is looking forward to seeing it again when it is formally released later in the year. In the meantime, Wolfe and Producer Susan Johnson will be taking the film to several renowned film festivals including the Toronto Film Festival where more than 60 countries are represented.
