Edisto Didn’t Need to Shout

A few days ago, I posted the opening reel from my Edisto series in collaboration with  The Post and Courier.

As I write this, that short cinematic opener has crossed 90,000 views.

And honestly, that surprises me a little.

Not because social media numbers are unfamiliar, but because the reel itself is so quiet. No fast edits. No manufactured drama. No “must-see hidden gems.” Just marsh grass, moving water, soft narration, and a feeling I hoped people might recognize.

Edisto has that effect on you.

It’s the kind of place that doesn’t compete for your attention. It waits. Patiently. And if you slow down long enough, it begins to change the rhythm of your thoughts.

That was the real story I wanted to tell.
