Friend and Jason Elmer Carter, who present a behind the scenes compilation of the labors, the bonds, the time-honored traditions and heated rivalries that play out each season of the Newport International Polo Series, an uncommon sport with grass roots devotion, that became an institution.
Come for the cocktail party at 7PM to meet the filmmakers & players, followed by the 8PM screening, and Q&A.
Premiere After Party TBA, by invitation.

BCN Productions’ Kevin G.
Friend directed and co-produced the independent documentary with award winning cinematographer Jason Elmer Carter, capturing footage from June through September during the Polo Series' 25th anniversary season.
Through location filming at the International Polo Grounds in Portsmouth, aerial footage, and scenes and events on location in Newport, RI, the narrative compiles inside-the-chukker experiences, candid player and fan interviews, back story of the club, behind the scenes preparations, and reveals from daybreak rituals to the glittery, into a cinematic celebration of the spirit of Newport Polo, one of the most renown polo experiences in the world today.
Sacred Ground is an exclusive event offered in conjunction with the Newport Winter Festival, and with Newport Polo's Beach Polo exhibition matches on Feb.
