Film Screening: The Cigarette Surfboard with director Q&A

Join the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography and Rhode Island Sea Grant for a free screening of The Cigarette Surfboard. Several of the "ciggy boards" will be on display and director Ben Judkins will join a post-film Q&A.

Synopsis: After a young designer realizes that a surfboard – which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches – could captivate the eyes of millions across the globe, he decides to use it as the impetus to do something more. The Cigarette Surfboards become a platform to spark ocean stewardship. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal.
