The California wildfires have completely devastated the small Northern California  town of Paradise, north of Sacramento.  Being considered the most destructive fire in the state’s history, the loss of life has reached 29 as of this writing, with over 200 still considered missing.

In 2015, the town of Paradise was the filming location for Grizzly Peak Films’ “Catfish Blues“, a family coming of age drama (winner of the Audience Choice Best Feature at The Big Island Film Festival 2016).  Several of the film’s key locations, including the historic 132 year old Honey Run Bridge (featured on the DVD menu) are now destroyed.
