Exhibition Drive, the award-winning documentary on Old Home Week 2011, will have a special screening this Wednesday, May 9 at The Guild in Charlottetown.
Produced and directed by Jeremy Larter and Jason Arsenault, the film captures the sights and sounds of the "Greatest Show in Harness Racing," with a special emphasis on the three MacDonald brothers, Mark, Anthony, and James. The screening starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are available at the door.
"When we started Exhibition Drive we were complete outsiders to the sport and industry," Arsenault told Trot Insider. "Through the process of making the film we discovered how open and accommodating the people in harness racing were to our documentary.
"Initially we had the idea of making a racing documentary, but I think what stands out the most is how much those involved love the sport and how committed they are to its survival. We hope that Exhibition Drive is a film that gives insight into harness racing in Prince Edward Island and harness racing in general. As filmmakers we wanted to capture the people, atmosphere and thrill of Old Home Week and the Gold Cup & Saucer."
