It has been said the best art comes from suffering. On the second day Bruce Novotny was directing his first film, “Six Miles at Sea,” on the bay, his legs were covered with greenheads. For eight hours, his bare ankles, feet and calves were caked with salt and spattered blood as he directed the action from a skiff.

If the insect onslaught, oppressive heat and raging winds hold true to the saying, this should be a fantastic short film.
