Humboldt native and filmmaker Maria Matteoli was already celebrating the inclusion of The Wine of Summer in Portugal's
Douro Film Harvest – she and her crew had flown to Porto to attend the world premiere of
the movie they crafted during 2011 in Spain and the streets of Eureka's Old Town – when things got even better.
"What in the..." Matteoli's Facebook post read, along with a photo of her holding some sort of fancy trophy. Another one just said, "Dude..."
The
film's page confirmed impressions. "And we won!!"
Congratulations to Humboldt's own international award-winning filmmakers!
Check out The Wine of Summer on
IMDB and don't miss the director's cut premiering
Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Eureka Theatre.
