George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born. George meant so much to so many people; should he really throw it all away?

One-of-a-kind Film Festival features Michigan & Lambton County Artists ONLY. Port Huron, Michigan, July 20, 2009 - The Blue Water Film Festival (BWFF) announces its call for film entries postmarked by August 31, 2009. Do you reside in Michigan? Are you a student of a Michigan school? Do you live in Lambton County, Ontario? The uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind festival is that the entries must be amateur film-makers from Michigan or Lambton County. All finalists will shown in their entirety on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at the McMorran Place Theatre in Port Huron and will also be featured in the official Blue Water Film Festival program. The winning film will be awarded $1,000 (US), second place earns $750 (US) and third place wins $250 (US). The Viewers Choice award winner receives an additional $500 (US). “Michigan’s artistic film talent is in abundance - most people are unaware of all of the directors, producers, actors and film-makers in this great state. This superb festival will highlight the talent of Michigan’s film artists giving them the opportunity they may have not received by entering a film festival that draws from the entire nation,” states Karen Palka of the Blue Water Film Festival. Studio 1219 recently joined the festival by sponsoring the After-Glow Brunch on Sunday, October 11, 2009. Studio 1219 offers over 8,000 square feet of total space making this the largest public art facility in Michigan’s Thumb Region. Over 100 local artists display and sell artwork. The perfect compliment to end an exciting weekend. “Their [Blue Water Film Festival] combination of dedication and drive will ensure success for these annual Film Festivals which will in turn bring success to the entire St. Clair County region,” commented Phil Pavlov, State Representative 81st District, who recently endorsed the Blue Water Film Festival.
