GIRL AT THE TOP OF THE MAST

Directed by: Steve Mellin, Written by Scott Gray

Selected scenes from the screenplay adapted from Bungy Hedley’s funny and touching autobiographical book View from the Top of the Mast. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live right next to the ocean? Well, many years ago, in a quaint house hand-built by her dad, Bungy did so, along with her mom, dad, and three sisters! Then, she followed the lure of the sea, learned to crew, and offered her nautical skills to captains of sailing ships as the only female crew member on such voyages.
