This weekend I visited the Detroit Windsor International Film Festival. It was the first annual occurance of the festival. Long live the DWIFF!
I had a personal reason to be at the festival. I was there for the premier of a special film, “Freezer Geezers”.
Freezer Geezers is a documentary about the oldest Hockey players in the world. Coming together in California at the Snoopy Senior World Hockey Tournament each year, it follows the members of four hockey teams, all made up of players over 75 years old (some nearly 90). Started by Charles Schultz, the tournament keep opening older age categories as Charles (“Sparky”) got older. It stopped at 75 when Sparky died, but the tournament goes on.
Inspiring, real-life characters make this an endearing film. I hope you get an opportunity to see it.
Local producers Denn Pietro and Denver Rochon produced it and I was thrilled to have provided a couple songs for the final credits. Look for it in theatres. If you’d like more information on the film, go to www.freezergeezers.com
