The Astronaut, directed by Shelagh McLeod and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Lyriq Bent, Krista Bridges, Graham Greene, Richie Lawrence, and Colm Feore is about a lonely widower who lies about his age to enter a lottery for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to travel on the first commercial flight to outer space.

A red carpet event follows the film, with 30 restaurants, wines, beers and spirits, and live music on Long Beach Plaza.
The festival will conclude on Saturday, August 3, with a free concert on the beach followed by free shorts on the beach, beginning at sunset.
