The Historical Society of Bay County is pleased to present Sammy Tedder, cinematographer, film editor, musician and composer, at the Bay County Public Library, 898 West 11th Street, at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 25. A highly talented artist, Mr. Tedder has produced three nature films. He will show his film “River Obscure: Secrets of a Blackwater River.” This 55-minute film received the Tallahassee Film Festival's Audience Choice Award for Best Local/Regional Film. It explores a wild and remote river in Florida's eastern Panhandle known as the Sopchoppy. Tedder reveals this Blackwater river from a perspective mostly unseen—from underwater—and along hidden tributary creeks that 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 limited series about this blackwater river. Tedder and his wife Sandy live on the banks of the Sopchoppy River. He has been a professional musician for more than 50 years, producing several albums. He has performed on numerous other albums including that of Tom T. Hall and Rita Coolidge.
