The Boat that Rocked

After a lot of to’ing and fro’ing, Jacqui Gisborne (Communications Manager, Weymouth & Portland Borough Council) managed to secure a premiere screening of The Boat that Rocked at Cineworld in Weymouth. 

The film shot for 6 weeks in neighbouring Portland Port so Dan (our website manager) and I went down to show our support and say thank-you to all involved.  A few of the local supporting artistes dressed in 1960’s outfits which really lent a flavor to the event.  I said a few words of thanks and so did the Mayor before the film was rolled.
From the Council press release:

Producer of The Boat That Rocked, Hilary Bevan Jones, said: ‘We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the people of Weymouth and Portland for being so hospitable and accommodating during the filming of The Boat That Rocked.  We truly appreciated the hundreds of fabulous supporting artists who brought our film to life, the many different businesses for offering such tremendous support and expertise and all the marine experts who helped us in so many ways'.
