The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

To The Eagle:

Audiences were delighted by a film festival chronicling the film work of young film maker Elia Hoover in the High School library last Friday. During the thirty minute showing, Elia's talents spanned battle field scenes, intergalactic travel and old west gun fights.

Elia Hoover's talents are unmistakable. As a former film maker myself, what impressed me most about Mr. Hoover's achievement was the perseverance. Making a film is a mammoth undertaking, somehow he fought through the self doubt and limited resources and made several genuinely entertaining movies.

Proof of this entertainment value came in the form of the audience's numerous applause culminating with a standing ovation at the end of the showing.

I truly believe Mr. Hoover to be an up and coming talent we will be hearing about for years to come.
