What happens when an island says “I love you”?

Posted February 13, 2012 at 6:24 am by

Bet you can't watch the whole thing without smiling..... 🙂

[We posted this last week – and we’re re-posting it for Valentine’s Day, mostly because so many folks asked us to…! Have a great Valentine’s Day!]

Over the past few weeks, I got the chance to ask dozens of San Juan Islanders if they would be part of my little movie, and here are most of the folks who said, “Sure!”

As you can see, the clips were shot in the store, on the street, at the coffeehouse, at school, at the Community Theatre, at Roche Harbor – all over the island. The islanders are people whom I know you know, and some are folks I’d like you to meet.

I asked folks just to say “I love you” for this Valentine’s Day video & it was cool to see how the whole thing feels….the visuals are backed up by “Field Song” by ace acoustic guitar virtuoso Cameron Byington.

So…here it is, just for you.
