If you’re reading this you have likely expressed some interest at some point in my film about the Exumas. Thank you! Over the weekend, “Exuma” had its world premiere in my hometown of Missoula at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. I was in the Sea of Cortez filming whales and missed the premiere but …
In my defense, bringing a project like this to fruition all by yourself is a boat-load of work. But I won’t belabor that point right now – anymore than I already have. Everything is done. The edit is locked, the chapter menus and navigation are designed, the packaging is done, the DVD’s (and Blu-rays) are …
I’ve been hard at work finishing the packaging and cover designs for the Blu-ray and DVD release of the film as well as finalizing chapter menus and authoring the actual disc files. While I can’t have an official release before the film screens at several upcoming festivals, I will be selling a limited number of …

A few years ago, while I was on Staniel Cay working on my film, “Exuma,” I met an amazing woman named Joan Mann. She was already quite elderly at the time but it didn’t seem to have slowed her down much. She was energetic and inspired and kind and quickly became a friend. She had …
Making a film all by yourself takes a long time! But I’ll save the details for some other post. This is just an update that I’ve finished a rough cut of the film and a final version is soon to follow! I’m still expecting an initial release on Blu-ray and standard DVD by the beginning …
Welcome to the Exuma production blog. I’m very excited to have the website up and running. There is also a new trailer up and a newsletter sign-up so that people can follow along with progress and news about the film as well as behind-the-scenes blog posts about the process of creating the film.
