Freeport, The Bahamas - The Bahamian feature-length family film, Wind Jammers was screened for the first time in Grand Bahama on February 12th at the new Canal House conference center of the Pelican Bay Hotel to a sold out audience.

The Bahamas Weekly brings you footage of the Wind Jammers crew arriving at the Grand Bahama airport, then on to the premiere held at the Pelican Bay Hotel; and then the following day we take you to the Grand Bahama Sailing Club and out to sea.

Guests arrived to Optimists vessels on display in the entrance-way and a red carpet entrance to the Delphine's room at the Canal House . Optis are small, single-handed sailing dinghy's used at the Grand Bahama Sailing Club (GBSC)...

Families enjoyed complimentary popcorn provided by Pelican Bay and had a chance to meet and get autographs from the star of Wind Jammers, Justice von Maur. Both co-directors, Kareem Mortimer and Ric von Maur were in attendance along with actors Moya Thompson and Claudette 'Cookie' Allens.

"I am so glad we were invited to show the movie in Grand Bahama, and everyone was so nice. I really enjoyed sailing with the kids at the Grand Bahama Sailing Club the day following the screening," said fifteen-year-old Justice von Maur who learned to sail when she was ten years of age.

Methice Rigby sang the national anthem and guests were welcomed by Pelican Bay's general manager, Magnus Alnebeck. "Pelican Bay is happy to have sponsored this event, and Grand Bahama Sailing Club in extension. We are looking forward to seeing more young Grand Bahamians being introduced to the sport of sailing," said Alnebeck.

Donna Mackey spoke on behalf of the Ministry of Tourism's Film Commission and shared her delight to have had the opportunity to work on films with director, Kareem Moritimer on various occasions over the years as he has made his way up the ladder to now being a director with a few films under his belt, in particular his multi-award winning film, Children of God which is set to be out on DVD later this year .

Mortimer shared his thoughts on the screening by saying, "It was great playing the movie to another Bahamian audience. We were very pleased to see how the community supported this event and it was wonderful to have such a great turnout!"
