Wakulla County has long been a backdrop for major motion pictures, and local filmmakers say the area continues to offer something new every time they pick up a camera.
From sweeping natural scenery to historic sites, Wakulla County provides a variety of visual settings that appeal to filmmakers working across different styles and genres.
Sammy Tedder, a Sopchoppy local, recently produced a film called "River Obscura: Secrets of a Black Water River." He said the area offers an abundance of material for anyone willing to take the time to look.
"Well, it's just, there's so much here, there's so many things to film, if you just slow down and look. And I'm trying to document it the way it is, or has been," Tedder said. "I started about 10 years ago, producing films about the Sopchoppy area. And so, things are rapidly changing with population growth. And so, I'm trying to show people what was here during this time period."
Other filmmakers, ABC 27's Serena Davanzo, spoke to agree with Tedder, saying that every time they go out to film, there is something new for them to discover.
