PAWLET — The award-winning Vermont film “The Summer of Walter Hacks” will be screened at 7 p.m. April 28 at the Pawlet Community Church on Route 133.

The film, made almost entirely in Vermont, is about an 11-year-old Vermont farm boy in 1952 whose life takes a sudden and tragic turn just before school lets out for the summer and has to grow up faster than he should have to. It premiered in 2010 and has garnered recognition and awards from various film festivals.

It was made by Vermont dairy farmer and director George Wood of Waterbury Center and producer Gerianne Smart of Ferrisburgh.

Both filmmakers will be on hand at the screening for a question-and-answer session after the film.
