“We screened at gem & mineral shows across the country last year,” said executive producer and host Devin Dennie, “but we are really pleased about having a place in Tucson.” The Tucson Gem & Mineral show is widely considered on of the best in the world and in 2006 it will run from February 9 to the 12.
“Rock hounds from all over the world flock to Tucson every year,” said the film’s director Todd Kent, “so we are excited about having an opportunity to screen before such a large audience.”
In addition to gem & mineral shows, the documentary continues to tour the film festival circuit and was an official selection of Australia’s “SCINEMA ’05 – Festival of Science Film.” A short version of the film is also a part of the “OK Rocks!” exhibit at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History in Norman, OK.
The film showcases the fun, adventure and science behind the hobby of gem & mineral collecting and was produced by Explorer Multimedia Inc., in conjunction with the School of Geology & Geophysics at the University of Oklahoma.
