MDP at the Summer OFF

The Media and Documentary Projects Center was well represented last night by two films showing at the Oxford Film Festival summer series.  The first was a documentary by Mary Warner and Joe York that resulted from Mary’s Southern Studies MA Thesis on Thacker Mountain Radio.  Mary Produced Thacker for several years and we were lucky enough to work with her that whole time.  Mary has graduated and moved on to Atlanta where we wish her well.

The Second film was a screening of Joe York’s moving documentary, Saving Willie Mae’s Scotch House.  Both of these films represent the collaborative nature of our department and are great examples of the type of films I expect to be producing for years to come. — Andy
