The Sand of My Soul
A grandfather speaking to his grandson.
On his eighty-second birthday, a retired Black caddie spends an afternoon at Pinehurst with his teenage grandson. Hole by hole, he recounts how he came to carry Donald Ross's bag in the early 1900s.
Not a golf movie. A movie about these men, and the village that rose out of the sand around them. Shot on location in Pinehurst.
Morgan Freeman stars as Walter Jackson.

Pinehurst, as we see it
Before the camera rolls, the stills. Chris Auman has photographed the Sandhills for years, in the first light and the last, and the picture is made in that light.

A Shadow Clock
A sundial keeps time with nothing but a shadow and the sun. So does a story told well. We take our name from the oldest clock there is, and from the long light on the Sandhills at either end of the day.
