"Murphy's Law" Documentary World Premiere Screening At Showplace June 18th

UPDATE (April 13th): Watch the awesome trailer just released for Murphy's Law...

----------------

ORIGINAL POST

"A girl broken, her dead parents, a lost and found journal, a 40 year old bicycle, Ireland, some Guinness and hopefully, a little redemption."

That is the premise of Murphy's Law, a new documentary with a world of potential, screening at Showplace June 18th by Peterborough-based radio personality/actress/comedian—and now filmmaker—Megan Murphy.

Still from Murphy's Law

In this much anticipated doc, Megan is sharing her story about retracing her late Dad's bike trip in Ireland in 1973—and learning more about herself in this journey of self-discovery.

Megan tells PTBOCanada there is something really special about showing this doc in her hometown, in this community that's been so supportive of her:

"I'm nervous and excited and incredibly humbled to premiere my film in my hometown," she says. "They say it takes a village to raise a child. Peterborough is my village. I am her child. I hope I make her proud!"

Murphy's Law screens, appropriately, on Father's Day weekend—on Saturday, June 18th at 7 p.m. at Showplace. Megan will be doing a Q & A after the doc with audience members.

Lakefield's Michelle Moore Just Created This Awesome Spacefighter Blanket

Lakefield, Ont., entrepreneur Michelle Moore—whose crochet patterns (shark, dolphin, dragon, to name a few) sell in countries around the world—has added an epic new pattern to her repertoire at MJ's Off The Hook Designs.

Yes, she is keeping the force with you by adding a Bulky Spacefighter Blanket...

The designs were just released this month, and people are going nuts for them already based on the reaction on MJ's Facebook page.

Basically, you can begin your Jedi training from inside your Spacefighter blanket...

And if your hands get cold or you just want to fly, well they go inside the engines...

Order this pattern now, so you can cuddle up in it while watching Star Wars.

And congrats to Michelle Moore (pictured above), a mother of 4 and wife of a dairy farmer, for another fantastic creation! The force is with her.
