"Everyone Wins: Developing an Engagement and Audience Building Campaign While You Produce Your Film"
Mon. Dec. 7 | 6:30-8:30pm | WMM Office | $50/$40
Filmmakers no longer have the luxury to focus exclusively on making their docs. Today funders want to know that films will have impact and move people to action. Increasin... gly, you need to think strategically about the audience you want to reach and how to connect with community partners (non-profits, NGO’s, educators), while also keeping your production on track. This workshop provides essential information about what today's funders want when it comes to an "audience engagement" plan for your film.

DESERT BAYOU
Directed by Alex LeMay
In the wake of one of the worst natural and humanitarian disasters ever to visit American shores, nearly 600 African Americans were airlifted to the almost entirely white state of Utah…without their knowledge. Desert Bayou seeks to examine whether two cultures can come together in a ti...me of utter chaos, or whether their differences prove too great a challenge to overcome. In their own words evacuees of Hurricane Katrina, tell how they survived the storm of the century and out of the rubble ended up at a military installation in the deserts of Utah. With interviews from evacuees, political, military and religious leaders, community and social figures, the questions of race, politics and religion hurtle towards each other in this truly American story: a story of loss and reunion, of sorrow and rebirth, of anger and rejoicing, but most of all…a story of hope.

Enjoy!
The year is 1921. The Ku Klux Klan's reign of terror is raging throughout the rural South. A black child is born in Americus, Georgia. His mother is a strict, religious, public school teacher; his father, a postal worker, dies of a heart-attack within months of the birth of his third child. The family is left fatherles...s. Soon this young child reveals his musical talent when he sits down at the piano one day and imitates the playing of his older sister. When his sister teaches him as much as she can, his mother searches for a white teacher who can give him proper piano lessons. He and his cousin clean the piano teacher's studio in exchange for the lessons. When the famous Russian pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff comes to Macon, Georgia to give a concert, this teacher urges this young black boy and his mother to attend. Somehow they get tickets, and mother and son sit together in the segregated balcony while Rachmaninoff weaves his magic. The boy's life is changed forever. Because of his ability to mimic Rachmaninoff's playing-style, Matthew wins a scholarship for study at the Juilliard School in New York City. His mother sees this as their chance to escape the segregated South. While in New York, Matthew comes in contact with Duke Ellington, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Leontyne Price, and even performs at the legendary Apollo Theater. As far as his mother is concerned, her Matthew is well on the way to an international concert career. However, his teacher at Juilliard – whose family is making considerable donations to a Colored university in Nashville, Tennessee – is of the opinion that her talented student should return to the South to help his people. With his tuition already paid-for, Matthew boards a train headed south, and sets out toward his future at Fisk University. Fisk University had been founded at the end of the Civil War for the purpose of educating the freed slaves. When the Klan repeatedly burned down the wooden houses – originally Union Army barracks – where classes took place, a stone structure was erected which was intended to be Klan-proof. The money for the construction of this building was raised from the proceeds of concerts given by a small choir of students, in which were sung the old slave songs - or "Spirituals" as they came to be known. The small students' choir became internationally known as the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and went on to perform before the crowned heads of Europe, even securing the patronage of Queen Victoria of England. As fate would have it, the Fisk Jubilee Singers were in need of a piano accompanist when Matthew arrived in Nashville, and was met at the train "with open arms" by their director, Mrs. James A. Myers. Armed with his Juilliard training, Matthew added his classical repertoire to the programs of the Singers. The group traveled and performed all over the world, before adoring fans, diplomats, and royalty. Welcomed and embraced in the hallowed concert halls of Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean and South America, yet in his native land he is denied service in a restaurant or use of a public toilet because of the color of his skin. In the middle of the realization of his dream of international success, the nation is suddenly at war, and Matthew is called to serve his country in a segregated US Army. After the war, he was able to finish his college degree at Fisk, and then returned to Juilliard for a master's degree. Of course, a faculty position was waiting for him at Fisk upon the completion of his master's. A female graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory had been appointed accompanist for the Jubilee Singers in his absence. This young woman, Miss Anne Gamble, eventually became his wife. Matthew was soon offered directorship of the group by then director John W. Work, III - (a post which spanned more than twenty-three years); and he and his wife continued their careers of touring and concertizing, while maintaining piano faculty positions. Matthew and Anne also toured, performed, and recorded as duo-pianists. This film is a tribute to the life and music of Matthew Kennedy.
