Trimmers is an original soundtrack to an indie film. The album was recorded by Oakland, CA-based group The Family Flaw. Listen to this soundtrack straight through and you’ll discover hidden audio clips from the movie that help tell the story of Emily.
Story synopsis: Emily is an overworked 20-something who's deep in debt. When her street-wise friend Hannah invites her to work on a lucrative California pot farm, Emily quits her job and a sun-soaked off-the-grid adventure begins. But the high times of farm life turn to nightmares when paranoid meth lab workers declare war on Emily and her pot farmer friends. With their lives and farm in danger, Emily and the farmers have no choice but to fight back.
