I was born in the beautiful city of Memphis, host of the
yearly World Barbecue Championships, taking place on the banks
of the mighty Mississippi. Maybe i'll attend this gathering someday....
but a million folks on pork and brew can be hostile.
In my youth I went to school and ran track for the Ellistion Baptist Red Devils. Yes, you heard right. Eventually, after years of being a bunch of little Satans, the schools conscience got to them and changed our name to the Raiders, complete with a gun toating, patched eye bandit as the new mascot...The National Rifle Assoc. would be proud.
My first film is a reflection of growing up in the arm-pit of the bible-belt, where sorting through bagage of inspiration and hypocrisy is a daily exercise, barbecue pits perfume the air and broken hearts are paved in the street. Have you heard of the blues?
