AND THE AWARD GOES TO …
A few locals earned top honors at the Coast Film & Music Festival , which took place in Laguna Beach in November . The Audience Choice award went to “ Five Summer Stories ,” directed by Greg MacGillivray and screened at the festival along with a performance by the band Honk , which provides part of the movie ’ s soundtrack . Originally released in 1972 with Jim Freeman — the other half of MacGillivray Freeman Films until his death in 1976 — the movie is considered by many to be the best surf flick of all time ; a 50th anniversary version of the film was released in August . Also during the festival , the documentary “ Water ” snagged the Best Student Film award in the high school category . Directed by brothers Zen and Keanu Mir-Scaer , both students at Laguna Beach High School , the film imparts the message that water is a precious natural resource that must be respected . Notably , the brothers are also published authors who wrote a children ’ s book called “ Skimstories : Riding Waves ” in 2017 . ( coastfilmfestival . com ) — S . S .
