Eye of the Dolphin Trailer

Eye Of The Dolphin Family - 2007 Smartly written by 3 time Emmy winner Wendell Morris from a story by the film's director Michael Sellers, "Eye of the Dolphin" is a richly realized tale of love, spirituality, and redemption that crosses generations, cultures, and even species. The film delivers an intelligent, cross-cultural spiritual punch reminiscent of "Whalerider", but with humor and edginess, particularly in the early Los Angeles scenes, that give it a very unique flavor. Most of the film takes place in the Bahamas, and features some very smart dolphins, spectacular locations—above water and below—and a first-rate ensemble cast anchored by star-in-the-making Carly Schroeder, who played the lead in the Independent Spirit award winning "Mean Creek" in her first feature outing, and stars as Harrison Ford's kidnapped daughter in the upcoming " The Wrong Element", Neil Jordan favorite Adrian Dunbar ("Richard III", "The Crying Game"),Academy Award Nominee Katharine Ross ("Donnie Darko", "The Graduate"), George Harris ("Layer Cake", "Black Hawk Down"), Jane Lynch ("Forty Year Old Virgin", "A Mighty Wind", "Collateral Damage") and Christine Adams ("Batman Begins"). THE STORY Fourteen year-old Alyssa (Schroeder) has been living with her grandmother Lucy (Ross) since the death of her mother a year ago. It's been a tough year for both of them and Lucy decides it's time for Alyssa to go to the Bahamas to live with Hawk (Dunbar), dedicated dolphin researcher and the father she never knew she had. Alyssa's arrival on the island comes at a decisively inconvenient time for Hawk, who is busy fighting greedy politicians and "experts" who are determined to turn his research center into a tacky tourist attraction. It's a prickly relationship between Hawk and Alyssa, but Tamika (Adams), Hawk's girlfriend, and Daniel (Harris), Tamika's father, smooth the way. Alyssa soon adjusts to island life and discovers the gift she shares with her father for communicating with dolphins, a skill which leads her into a powerful relationship with a wild dolphin which her father, for legitimate scientific reasons, cannot condone. But when the powers-that-be threaten to close down her father's research stations, it is Alyssa and herwild friend who hold the key, and have the power to bring all parties together. " Overall -- highly recommended." Bob Couttie Sneak Previews
