Tell Your Ma, Tell your Pa, I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas!

MDP Producer/Director Joe York is just back from a week-long video shoot that took him and graduate assistant Alan Pike all across the great state of Arkansas.

Collecting footage and interviews for the forthcoming SOUTHERN FOOD: The Movie, their travels included stops in Little Rock, Lake Village, Brinkley, DeValls Bluff, Stuttgart and DeWitt, Arkansas. In between shoots, York and Pike also found time to attend the Ozark Foothills Film Festival, where York screened four MDP films to enthusiastic audiences. Check out this article from the Arkansas Times that gives a nice nod to York’s films and also discusses legendary documentary filmmaker Les Blank, who also screened films at the festival. Check back later for pictures from York and Pike’s Arkansas adventures.
