WAMA Documentary
A music documentary was recently Produced, Directed and Edited by Greg Berger of Top Secret Productions / Berger Video.
This short film looks at the history of WAMA and interviews veteran musicians and new artists who call the DC area their home.
Subjects range from venues in the DC area to honest opinions about the role that WAMA serves for the community of musicians in DC.
The piece also includes vintage footage, Wammie performance highlights, as well as video and song clips from the participating artists.
