Pan Is…
Role: Producer, Interviewer
From the moment the first note emerged from the curved face of a discarded oil drum, there was energy…transmuted from the resource the drum once contained, to a sound that redefined what music could be.
With an irrepressible spirit of determination, innovation, and creative expression, that note birthed not only a new instrument…it spawned a movement, a national identity, an undeniable energy.
This is a glimpse into steel pan’s journey, told through songs that have paid it homage.
The short doc “Pan Is…” was produced for the National Gas Company of Trinidad & Tobago, and was first screened during the 2023 Trinidad and Tobago Energy Conference.
