CentralMaine.com advances ‘When The Chevy Breaks’ screening at UMM
CentralMaine.com advanced the free, public screening of the University of Maine at Machias student film “When The Chevy Breaks” at 6 p.m. Aug. 15 at the University of Maine at Machias Performing Arts Center. Student filmmakers talked with Down East Mainers about a problem they’ve had to solve and/or how they approach problem-solving in general. An 80-minute film emerged from 90 hours of interviews. “A Lubec woman explains how the unexpected departure of the fishing town’s brining shed (it literally floated away to Canada) led to her publishing a book on the subject,” wrote Dennis Perkins. “‘When the Chevy Breaks” posits that for Mainers, running from your problems isn’t an option.”
