Us as we anxiously await Mothballs, 3 years in the making!
As hoped for, Chris McCallion the producer of Mothballs had a full tent for the Brimfield premier of his feature film about the antiques trade called Mothballs.
I'm not a movie critic but I know what I like and the flick was a lot of fun, it kept everyone in the tent laughing and at times, shocked them.
The antiques dealers stereotypes in the movie were nailed by Chris, as I looked around at the people watching the movie I saw them reacting wtih agreement and beaming amusement.
The story takes place in Brimfield itself, it's comedic and at the same time, an accurate look at our business. How can you go wrong when you have an Alien, a little person, a kangaroo and a magic box?
I don't want to give too much about the story away because Chris hasn't actually released the film for distribution yet, but I bet that when you see it you'll recognize most of the characters in the story as those you see every day in flea markets, antiques shows and auction halls throughout the country.
All of the dealers were happy to see one of our own aspire to such heights and were delighted to see a movie about our line of work. It's about damn time we get a little attention!
Mothballs wasn't the only class act of the night though. There are some people who should be thanked for their generous spirit. Here's who they are and how they helped.
The extra large viewing area was provided by the two dealers in Quaker Acres, booths 14&15 of the show,
Brain Harvey has booth 14. He makes the coolest bird houses I've ever seen. They are fashioned out of automobile license plates. Each is numbered and Brian has a network of people who call in when birds arrive in spring and are thus registered with an address!
He makes them to order and will build one out of license plates from your home state.
If your a bird watcher why not give Brian a call at (207) 369-0237
Thanks to Brian, we had a comfortable place to sit, free popcorn and pizza!
