Here is my first serious attempt at filmmaking. Drawing on a Dream, follows the life of Jerry Lee "Duff" Dorrough from Ruleville, Mississippi. Produced as part of the Barefoot Workshops in Clarksdale, Mississippi in September, this piece went viral after Duff collapsed and was taken to the hospital in Jackson with serious health issues. We had 3,000 views the first week and like to think it produced enough good karma to carry Duff through the crisis. He's back in Ruleville, painting and playing music and thankful for each day. My thanks to my partner Susan Allen Dobbs, and workshop leaders Chander Griffin, Alison Fast, and Teddy Symes. Enjoy. |
