Documentary Premier: “Connections Matter: An Oral History of the People & Places of Hancock County, Mississippi”
|
Very limited seating for the premier of a documentary that was a couple of years in the making and which involved several people associated with the Hancock County Historical Society, starting with Charles Gray, executive director of the Society, and Virginia Olander, who became a board member in 2019. Virginia sensed a need for documentation of Charles’s knowledge in particular, and over the next couple of years and withstanding setbacks like a global pandemic, the documentary came into being with the help of other participants: Boa Olander, Mariann and Jeff Kwiat, Jim Codling, and Fr. Sean Duggan. The group received a grant from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, and listed the following as community partners: Silver Slipper Hotel & Casino, Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, Krewe of the Seahorse, Cuz's Old Town Oyster Bar & Grill, Field's Steak & Oyster Bar, HL Raymond Properties, John McDonald Realty, Pearl Hotel, Trapani's Eatery, and Social Chair.
