Norfolk-based charity gets a boost from movie ''Smile'' (HamptonRoads.com/Pilot Online): "NORFOLK — The movie ''Smile'' opens in Norfolk today, giving a local charity a little face time on the big screen.
The independent film tracks the journey of a high school student who volunteers for a group similar to Operation Smile, the Norfolk-based charity that repairs facial deformities of children around the world.
Writer-director Jeffrey Kramer says the movie – which stars Beau Bridges, Linda Hamilton, Mika Boorem, Yi Ding and Luoyong Wang – is fiction, yet “based on 80,000 true stories.” One of those stories comes from his daughter, who made a mission trip with Operation Smile to the Philippines when she was 15."
