SweetWater How it Began…

During the lead-up to our 20th Anniversary Festival in 2023, we worked to create two short documentaries about SweetWater Music Festival. We premiered these in front of a live audience at our 2025 Festival.

Interviews with SweetWater co-founders Keith Medley and Mark Fewer, Evan and Ian Medley, as well as core volunteer Judith Thomson about how the festival began.

Produced and directed by Gail Gallant & Michael Allder and shot and edited by Bill Loucks. All three are retired veterans of CBC Television. Additional Camera and Sound by Triple Point Media. Special thanks to our financial supporters for this project: Grey Bruce Community Foundation and Cynthia & Mark Lemon.
