A Nature Film by Sammy Tedder
The Wakulla County Historical Society invites you to attend our program on Tuesday, January 14, 6:00 p.m., at the Wakulla County Public Library, 4330 Crawfordville Hwy. Sammy Tedder will be showing his latest film: River Obscura – Secrets of a Blackwater River. The public is invited and there is no cost.
Dark and mysterious, blackwater rivers can be intimidating to behold. This 55 minute film explores a blackwater river in Florida’s eastern Panhandle known as the Sopchoppy. Musician, composer, cinematographer and naturalist Sammy Tedder reveals this blackwater river from a perspective mostly unseen—from underwater—and along hidden tributary creeks few have explored.
Tedder provides the narration and composed the original music for this film which is Episode One of what is to be a series about this blackwater river.
Sammy Tedder and his wife Sandy live in a remote cabin on the Sopchoppy River in the Eastern Panhandle of north Florida.
Sammy has been a professional musician for more than 50 years, producing several albums of his original instrumental compositions and has performed on numerous other artists albums including Tom T. Hall and Rita Coolidge.
Tedder has also composed soundtrack music for several Florida nature films that have been featured on PBS.
In recent years he has produced three nature films about the Sopchoppy River and the surrounding wild places where he lives. He is the cinematographer, film editor and composer of the soundtrack music for these films and utilizes various genres of music—from Native American style flutes to jazz saxophone—to highlight his experiences in north Florida’s rapidly changing wild environments.
Sammy Tedder’s most recent film River Obscura: Secrets of a Blackwater River received the Tallahassee Film Festival’s Audience Choice Award for Best Local/Regional Film.
