Hollywood Isle

Original soundtrack to the 2018 documentary. Through the remarkable eye of first-time film director Greg Reitman, we embark on an armchair adventure through time and nature in this captivating exploration of the romantic history of Santa Catalina Island, Hollywood's private playground for the better part of a century. The audience experiences the island's golden era beginning with William Wrigley Jr.'s acquisition of the Santa Catalina Island Company in 1919. Using rare 16mm archival film and vintage black & white still photographs, inter-cut with interviews of longtime island residents, historians and celebrities, Hollywood's Magical Island chronicles Catalina from the Wrigley era through the present day resurrection of Avalon as a center for art, sports, music, and entertainment.
