LEGEND OF QUALICUM BAY, THE

Delightful and so appropriate for a youth and family audience. Well produced, with terrific youth actors. The theme of bullying is so appropriate.

A nine-year-old girl overcomes her fear of being bullied at school after confronting a mythical cougar in the woods of Qualicum Bay on Vancouver Island. What a wonderful, coming-of-age short film. Great production values, with excellent camera work and audio. Superb casting. Sienna Garrison who plays Sienna and Oliver Mawhinney, who plays Oliver are both outstanding. The topic of bullying is so prevalent these days with kids and the context of Sienna overcoming her fears, with the help of her new friend, Oliver is perfect. The setting of Qualicum Bay is beautiful and a great location for this adventure. Kudos to Jim Garrison for creating such a meaningful short film. It's a perfect fit for KIDS FIRST! Film Festivals.

The film's message is about facing your fears. There is a scene of cutting into a fish which shows blood oozing. Nothing scary but it's just a heads up for parents of queasy kids.

I give The Legend of Qualicum Bay 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
