Gary ("Bub") spent most of his early years in and out of trouble and fighting substance abuse and addiction. He decided to change and built a food truck from the shell up, serving and inspiring his community and maintaining his sobriety.

Building Bub's Grubs

Bub rides his food truck to recovery and to helping others in the same struggle.

This film follows a Maine lobsterman (and the daughter who wants to follow in his footsteps) and a research scientist as they each confront the effects of global warming and microplastic pollution in the waters they both call home. This is a serious subject showcased in a beautifully shot film.

The Human Side of Plastic:  Abby Barrows

A lobsterman and a scientist face down threats to Maine's waters.

Catholic priests begin turning up dead in a small town, and the local cop's investigation unearths buried secrets that connect the crimes-- by the murderer, and by the priests. Patrick Coyle has won three awards already at Big Water- in 2015 he won Best Feature for "The Public Domain" and in 2010 he won both Best Feature and Audience Favorite for "Into Temptation." For this film, Patrick brings us an all-star cast, including Adam Bartley ("Longmire") and Vincent Kartheiser ("Mad Men"). Patrick will be one of our two featured guests at Saturday morning's filmmaker discussion, "Cinema and Cinnamon Rolls."
