Fresh Coast Film Festival kicks off

Northern Michigan University students Olivia Walcott and Dylan Gonda, center left and right, are two of the makers of the film “Great Lakes, Great Stories,” which was the first film to premiere Thursday night in the 2017 Fresh Coast Film Festival. They and one other student, Ryan Watling, documented their 1,400-mile bicycle journey around Lake Superior to record the stories and culture of the people around it. Their film earned them the Fresh Coast Film Festival scholarship award for emerging filmmakers. Here they are pictured speaking with Joel and Carol Cooper, a couple who hosted the three travelers in Wawa, Ontario, Canada, during their journey. (Journal photo by Rachel Oakley)
