TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION OF STORYTELLERS
Here’s a still from an upcoming spot we’re producing for the Natural Products Research Center. In addition to this spot, we will be producing an “Are You Ready” ad for the Center featuring Dr. Greg Walker. You can check out more “Are You Ready?” spots here.
Featured here is a bit of 8mm film taken by Dr. Annie E. Mills in Oxford, Mississippi in 1959. The film shows the production of “Home From The Hill”, which was partly filmed in Oxford in ’59.
This footage is part of the library of 8mm and 16mm transfers done here at UMedia. As part of our documentary projects mission, we work with folks in the community and on campus to provide film transfer services.

Before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans people came from all around to eat at Willie Mae Seaton’s famed Scotch House Restaurant. After the storm, they came back to help rebuild the ruined culinary landmark. This documentary traces their efforts seeing the tiny restaurant as an analog for the tremendous difficulties and small victories that play out everyday in post-Katrina New Orleans. (2007)
