BLUFFTON, S.C. — Greg Smith’s award-winning short documentary about the plight of wildlife in Bluffton’s unique tidal environment, “Keeping the May River Wild,” has been selected for inclusion in the Gray’s Reef Film Ocean Festival. Leading off a series of short films gathered under the heading of “Around Our Region,” the 24-minute multimedia project is set to screen at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 19, in Savannah College of Art and Design’s Trustees Theater at 216 E.
