SUMMARY:Piping Plover Film Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:The Piping Plovers of Moonlight Bay is a 55-minute narrated documentary by Kim Smith that tells the story of the Piping Plover as it unfolds along the North Atlantic coastline. The film features a pair of courageous Plovers that overcome life-threatening obstacles while nesting at one of the region’s most popular beaches. \nOn Sunday March 23 at 4pm\, MAGMA will host a fundraiser to help support the production and distribution of the film. This evening will include a showing of the film and a Q & A with filmmaker Kim Smith. Refreshments will be served. Suggested donation for this event is $50. BUY NOW\, or pay at the door \nEach spring\, northward migrating Atlantic coast Piping Plovers return to breeding sites located from North Carolina to Newfoundland. Amazingly\, nesting often takes place on public beaches\, where anyone can observe their beautiful life story unfolding. But in such areas\, where people enjoy a full range of recreational activities\, nesting and raising chicks is a perilous occupation. \nSet against the backdrop of the ever-dynamic Atlantic shoreline\, the documentary illustrates how conservation partners have provided safe corridors that allow these highly vulnerable birds to raise chicks to fledge at even the most well-loved beaches. \nThe Piping Plovers of Moonlight Bay is a film for all ages\, and was created especially for young people to inspire in them a love for wild creatures and their habitats\, and to develop a deeper understanding of the vital role that wildlife play in our interconnected ecosystem. \nEvery stage of the Plover’s life cycle is experienced in vibrant HD and 4K close-up\, from egg to chick to adult. \nProduction and distribution of The Piping Plovers of Moonlight Bay will be made possible by tax-deductible contributions from individuals\, corporations\, foundations\, and public agencies. \nTo date\, among other generous donations\, we have received a leadership grant of $15\,000 from the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. \nGifts for The Piping Plovers of Moonlight Bay will support post production and distribution costs\, including re-recording voiceover narration\, color and sound editors\, picture mastering\, studio time\, festival fees and applications\, music and map rights\, and an underwriting agent to bring the film to the wide audience of public television. Our goal is to raise $115\,000.
