Spindrift's been on a whirlwind streak pairing their music with film, the latest of which is a collaboration with director Burke Roberts in this trailer for his short (and soon to be feature), "The Legend Of The Widower Colby Wallace."

In this trailer for the short, French trapper Francois Le Fey, comes down out of the Rocky Mountains in 1826 en route to trade beaver pelts at the "first annual Rendezvous of Mountain Man.
