One of the first Brotheryn Projects, Todd Hannigan worked with Fernando Apodaca to score two scenes from the film. It stands the test of time as a film that helped define the direction of surfing for that era.
Big Easy Express
Our first Grammy win! Alongside company Farm League, Directed by Emmett Malloy and produced by Tim Lynch, Todd and Jason spent weeks mixing and adding elements to make the train ride fell and sound like the magical ride that is was with Mumford and Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Jason Mariani mixed all the concert multitrack sessions and also made them sound amazing.
