The Coupeville wharf is on its way to the big screen.
“Midday Black, Midnight Blue,” an indie movie filmed largely on Whidbey Island last summer, will make its world premiere next weekend at the Seattle International Film Festival.
The feature-length film tells the tale of a man haunted by the memory of the woman he loved, who died 20 years ago, and handles themes of loneliness, mental illness, grief and letting go. It was filmed at various Whidbey locations and includes shots of local landmarks such as Little Red Hen Bakery and the wharf.
Anyone wishing to see the film on the big screen will have two opportunities to do so. The film will be shown at 6:30 p.m. April 21 and 12:30 p.m. April 22 at Pacific Place in Seattle.
The movie can also be streamed at www.siff.net/festival/midday-black-midnight-blue April 14-24. Regular priced live showing and streaming tickets cost $15.
The film was written and directed by Samantha Soule and Daniel Talbott and stars Soule and Chris Stack. Soule, Talbott, producers Lovell Holder and Addie Johnson Talbott, and actor McCaleb Burnett will all attend the live screenings in Seattle.
