July 28, 2005Odds and ends from the Film FestivalFROM STAFF REPORTSThe show must go on, but probably not on the big inflatable screen at the Open Space if there's lightning. That's the word from the Traverse City Film Festival, which will keep a close eye on weather with help from the festival's volunteer weatherman, Greg McMaster. If any Open Space film must be canceled due to weather conditions, a decision will be made by 7 p.m. Area broadcast media will be notified, signs will be posted at the Open Space and other festival venues, and the information will be listed on the Film Festival Web site, http://www.traversecityfilmfestival.org. - To get festivalgoers in a shark state of mind for tonight's showing of "Jaws" at the Open Space, local builder Jake Anderson and Ed Mulcahy at Old Town Playhouse have been busy building sharks and shark components. Their handiwork will be featured in a show that will be held about 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today at the Open Space. It will be repeated tonight starting around 8:30 p.m. Components include four mechanical sharks and 10 sharks that he said are "basically a fin on a stick," all circling the water with help from 10 divers. They're hoping for a boat with an old sea captain to be on the water during the morning event, when Sheriff Brody might even be on shore with a bullhorn calling warnings. Plans were still being finalized Wednesday, but look for the action in the harbor at the Open Space and maybe even extending over in front of the volleyball courts.
