Showtimes/Sailings Start Tonight

There's a chick/dude on the ferry that you make eyes with every day over the top of your book. We're sure it's very cute.

Tonight is the first showing of the movie "Hello" on the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry run at 8:10pm. (This is that movie everyone loves to headline "Ferry Tale," but Seattlest wouldn't do that to you.) "Hello" is the story of a couple that meets cute on the ferry staring Eric Stoltz and written and directed by local filmmaker John Helde. Don't nitpick when you realize that the twenty-minute movie is actually filmed on the boat to Bremerton. No one's going to be impressed by you knowing where the island is.

Tonight after the screening walk over to that person you've been long-distance flirting with for the past few seasons and say something. The situation will be so entirely obvious that you should be alright as long as you say something like, "I'm no Stoltz, but can I buy you a coffee?" Alright, scratch that. Say nothing. If the intensity of your shared glances escalates after you see each other at the screening, though, you may want to start building up to a "hello" of your own sometime towards the end of the summer.

This film will also be shown as a part of SIFF next month.
