Since making it's public debut at the Ridgefield Independent Film Festival on May 18, 2024, The Sugar Maker has been submitted to at least a dozen other prominent film festivals, including the Bridgeport Film Festival, the Woodstock Film Festival, and the Bowery Film Festival in New York City.
For those who haven't had the chance to preview the film, directed by Ethan Isaac, and produced by Factory Underground, here is a trailer released today on YouTube:

When he is not recording his music at Factory Underground Studio, or releasing his music through Pilot Light Records, singer-songwriter Pete Campbell is also a passionate organic farmer who for the past ten years has been producing maple syrup on his Ridgefield, CT-based Horse Shoe Farm.
His experiences have been highlighted in a short documentary produced by Factory Underground Studio called "The Sugar Maker," which premiered at the Ridgefield Independent Film Festival on May 17, 2024. The film was directed by Ethan Isaac, with Associate Producer Amy Holomakoff, with cinematography by Emmy Award-winning film maker William Fitzgerald.
After the premiere showing, attendees were privy to a Q&A with Campbell, Isaac, and Fitzgerald, hosted by festival organizers. The event was held at the prestigious Prospector Theater in Ridgefield, CT.
Pilot Light Records is please to announce that our blues-rock artist Cryin' Out Loud has broken the Top 10 of Roots Music Report (Blues Radio Chart) on their recent album "Play Loud and Smoke Often." The album was produced by the late Paul Nelson, Grammy Award winning-guitarist of Johnny Winter.
