‘Chance’ by Mark Owens & Evan Kaufman Filmed on St. Thomas, VI
Synopsis:
The first collaboration between screenwriter Mark Owens and director Evan Kaufmann, Chance is a sun-soaked drama that doubles as an exposé on the seedy underbelly of organized crime and human trafficking in the US Virgin Islands. Chance chronicles the actions of Darnell Smith, a young, big-hearted St. Thomian, who is the sole breadwinner for his family and whose skills as an amateur photographer have landed him a scholarship to an esteemed school in the States. But with graduation inching closer, Darnell’s mother slips closer to death from an undiagnosed disease. Lacking the funds to afford treatment and with no one to look after his brothers and sisters, Darnell forgoes school to team up with a local crime lord in a desperate move to take care of his family and save his mother’s life. Telling a tale of redemption, Chance reveals the lengths to which many have to go in order to survive and take care of those they love, but reminds us that with faith, it is never too late for a miracle.

N2 The Blue: Frederiksted Pier Night Dive 4.26.11
While browsing Facebook today I came across these awesome pictures of St. Croix’s awesome marine life courtesy of N2TheBlue. Personally, I’m not sure if I’d ever wade in the sea at night much less scuba dive but the scenery looks amazing.
N2 the Blue specializes in small group diving, with a maximum of 6 divers per boat. Whether from their custom dive boats, or going right off the Frederiksted Pier, their personalized experience and unlimited bottom time makes them an excellent choice. See website for rates.
