Morning Light Previews Thursday Night

Producers Roy E. Disney and Leslie DeMeuse will be previewing scenes from Morning Light on Thursday night during the Strictly Sail Pacific boat show at Jack London Square in Oakland. The film chronicles the tryouts, selection and training of a group of 18- to 23-year old sailors charged with sailing the film’s namesake Transpac 52 in last year’s Transpac. Disney and DeMeuse will be presenting scenes from the film alongside two of the players — navigator Piet Van Os and crewmember Graham Brant-Zawadski. This will be the first — and likely only — West Coast sneak-peek of the project, due to be released later this year. Admission is open to Strictly Sail Pacific exhibitors and Thursday ticket-holders, and the program is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Waterfront Plaza Hotel’s Spinnaker Room.
