Duck BeacH to<br />
eternitY<br />
by stephen frandsen, Hadleigh arnst, laura naylor<br />
Every Memorial Day weekend, nearly a thousand<br />
Mormon singles flock to Duck Beach, N. C., for a spring<br />
break gathering. They assemble in rental houses<br />
and host parties (without alcohol), hook up (without<br />
sex), and strut their stuff for three days on the beach.<br />
The weekend has been referred to in the media<br />
as, variously, the ‘Mormon Jersey Shore’ and ‘Mormon<br />
Singles Gone Mild.’ Duck Beach To Eternity follows<br />
four singles in their 20s and 30s who are all feeling the<br />
pressure of finding the right person. After all, at<br />
their age, according to Mormon culture, they should<br />
have been married years ago. The film explores the<br />
many distinctive aspects of Mormon single life – primarily<br />
the paramount pursuit of an eternal companion<br />
to fulfill their purpose on earth. The filmmakers handle<br />
the topic gracefully and treat their subjects respect-<br />
fully, with compelling and entertaining results. Duck<br />
Beach To Eternity deals with the complexities, contradictions,<br />
struggles, and confusion that are a part of being<br />
a single person of faith in modern America.<br />

Charles and Ray Eames are widely considered America’s<br />
most important designers. Perhaps best remembered<br />
for their plywood and fibreglass furniture, they also cre-<br />
ated a bewildering variety of other products, from<br />
splints for wounded military, to photography, interiors,<br />
multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys.<br />
The ultimate documentary about Eames, it draws from<br />
a trove of archival material, films and photographs<br />
produced in mind-boggling volume by the hyper-creative<br />
forty years of their existence.<br />
