Trailer For Documentary Film Exuma Featuring My Music

Here’s a trailer for a new documentary film by Colin Ruggiero called Exuma which features some of my music. As you can see from the trailer, the film features some beautiful underwater photography and time lapse footage all shot in HD:

“Prepare to hold your breath and dive into a thousand shades of blue on an exploration of the Exuma Cays – a tiny string of pearls tucked away in the middle of the 3,000 other islands that make up the Bahamas.  Shot entirely in HD, the film uses innovative underwater and time-lapse photography to capture the surreal beauty of the Exumas through the eyes of a young woman who lives there. Through Susanna’s eyes, we are given a window into a world few people have ever seen. Welcome to Exuma.”
