Seven
Mornings
in
Maine
This
DVD is
about
the
variety
and
possibilities
of
morning.
It
is
a
blend
of
sight
and
sound.
First
are
beautiful
images,
recorded
over
ten
years
while
producing
documentaries
about
places
in
Maine.
Second
is
music,
performed
and
written
by
musicians
we
have
come
to
know
and
love,
nearly
all
from
Maine.
Each
morning
unfolds
in
its
own
unique
personal
way.
There
are
the
rocky
edges
at
Schoodic
Point.
There
is
the
hustle
of
lobstermen heading
out
in
Stonington,
the
farms and
potato
fields in
Aroostook
County,
the
lighthouse at
Pemaquid
Point.
There
are
the
uncharted
colors
of
sky
in
Eastport and
the
simple
nature
of
Lane’s
Island on
Vinalhaven.
It
is
a
quiet
meditative
piece
for
anyone
who
loves
morning,
loves
Maine,

Stewards by the Sea
This
is a
story
about
time
and the
importance
of what
you do
with
it. It
is told
by a
place
and the
people
of that
place-the Pemaquid
Peninsula.
It is
a story
of oyster shells
piled
high
one
thousand
years
ago,
and oysters grown
for
market
today.
It is
a story
of
four
hundred
year
old
foundations,
a hundred
fifty
year
old
lighthouse,
and
ice
harvested
in February
that
is
still
solid
in August.
These
are
stories
of people
who
collect
things
from
the
past,
like
lunch
boxes,
boats,
memories,
and
save
them
for
the
future.
They
are
stories
of
people,
who
each
in their
own
way,
do something
to make
the
place
they
live
a little
better
for
those
who
are
to follow.
It might
be as
fleeting
as a
sticky
bun,
baked,
sold
and
consumed
in the
same
morning.
Or it
might
be
as permanent
as mother
and
child
carved
in granite
that
will
last
forever.

Schoodic
Where Sea Meets Land
This video is about the communities of Gouldsboro, Prospect
Harbor, Corea and
Winter
Harbor, Maine. They all share a peninsula on the coast and an understanding
of magic. It is the magic of ocean knocking against a rocky
coast, or sun burning
through a lingering morning fog. It is the magic found in the practical approach
to living that is engendered on this coastal
peninsula. As Lobsterman Dale Torrey
puts it, "You can't explain it, it's just in you."
