Hardwater is a documentary film by Ryan Brod and Daniel Sites about the culture and experience of ice fishing in Maine. Garth Baxter worked with Amit Kumar on several music selections for the film, contributing to its atmosphere and sense of place.

The project reflects Baxter’s work beyond the concert stage, bringing musical sensitivity, color, and expressive support to a documentary setting. In this context, the music helps shape the film’s portrait of landscape, tradition, and the people connected to winter life on the ice.

As a film-related project, Hardwater may be listed under Baxter’s theater and film work, with emphasis on its documentary context and collaborative music selections.
