The Boise Film Festival debuted with a big hockey themed night at the Egyptian Theater, featuring a 20th Anniversary of Gavin O’Connor’s feel-good classic, MIRACLE, with producer Mark Ciardi, USA Hockey legend Mike Eruzione, and the man who portrayed him in the film, Patrick O’Brien Demsey on hand, along with several filmmakers and the Idaho Steelheads hockey team. It was an exciting night that set the tone for the weekend of cinema and fun in Boise.
