“Seven Mornings in Maine” is an inspirational, meditative new DVD about mornings in Maine. This newest title from Accompany Video Productions captures the beauty and mystery of Maine from its breathtaking rocky seacoast to its fertile farms in Aroostook. The hour-long piece is a compilation of video images collected over 12 years of producing documentaries about places in Maine. It is set to music by many of Maine’s most loved musicians. This DVD is sure to tweak the heart of anyone who holds affection for Maine. Maine holds the distinction of being the first state in the nation to be touched each day by the morning light. But even before the sun rises, there is work to be done. No morning is really the same. The hustle of the lobstermen in Stonington, the hum of a tractor in Aroostook, the crashing surf along a foggy rocky coast in Schoodic – it’s all here in “Seven Mornings in Maine.” From Eastport to Vinalhaven, from Fort Kent to Pemaquid, morning is all different and splendid in its uniqueness.
From the filmmakers who brought you “Vinalhaven,” “Seven Ways to Fish,” “US 1 Aroostook” and over a half dozen other titles, this is another video journey you can travel over and over again.
It features music by Castlebay, Frank Gotwals, Paul Sullivan, Glenn Jenks, Frederick Moyer and Robin Spielberg.
