This documentary film is a form of observation of the inhabitants of the city of Beaufort in South Carolina who participated in the production of the film "Forrest Gump" in the 90s. In a direct or indirect way this film has influenced, in a positive way, the lives of many in this small seaside town and it has greatly contributed to the filmmaking legacy of the state of South Carolina. It's the Director's intent to show the amazing phenomenon of cultivating a film over the years and what values and message it brings. Besides, these are also interesting stories and anecdotes of the inhabitants from the period of the creation of this world-famous production of one of the most iconic films of all time. The background for it all is Beaufort, picturesquely situated on the island of Port Royal, in the heart of the Sea Islands and the South Carolina Lowcountry. "As a man from Europe, fascinated by the United States, I want to thoroughly "investigate with the camera" a part of the life of the American city and community. Be able to get to know people and their lifestyle. Take part in the Beaufort Shrimp Festival, go on a shrimp boat to catch shrimp or simply stroll the streets and surroundings of the city and visit historical film locations. And finally, taste the Chocolate Tree in Beaufort, because "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." I love the film "Forrest Gump" and as an independent filmmaker I want to give something from my heart with great passion in the form of a documentary that will undoubtedly be a beautiful souvenir for residents and a curiosity for film fans around the world." Daniel Stanislawski.
