BAHAMAS FILM CHALLENGE: 1st Place - Long Island - Robin Schmidt: 'Open your eyes'

Quenton isnt really interested in history or culture but when he falls asleep in school hes transported through a magic door to the land of the Island Genie. The Genie takes him on a magical whistlestop tour of Long Island, opening his eyes to a world hed been oblivious to before. Taking its cue from the great comedy musical numbers of the classic Disney animated films, the film features an original rake and scrape song written during the 14 days the filmmaker spent on the island and an astonishing performance from first time actor Charles Knowles, ably supported by young star Quenton Smith.
