Broadcast premiere of Mississippi ReMixed - Tonight @ 8pm on MPB TV

The documentary film Mississippi ReMixed will have its broadcast premiere TONIGHT on Mississippi Public Broadcasting stations at 8:00 PM (CST)!

If you live in Mississippi and are able to tune in (or know of someone who is), please show your support by getting the word out and watching tonight's premiere broadcast on MPB TV.

For those who don't live in Mississippi (like me!) but want to see the film come to your neck of the woods, then I encourage you to go to any of the following websites (MS ReMixed's Facebook fanpage, MS ReMixed Contact, or MS ReMixed Community) and let your voice be heard! If there is enough interest and support, the director will have a better opportunity to bring this movie to a nationwide audience.

Also, don't forget to check out the soundtrack for the film at http://joelscottdavis.bandcamp.com!

Mississippi ReMixed Soundtrack

In anticipation of tonight's private screening of Mississippi ReMixed here in Jackson, I am pleased to announce the limited release of selected musical cues from the film. Some of these pieces are miniatures, while others are a little bit longer; all of them are quite simple, direct & slightly Southern, and each one was written in service of the film.

Although the documentary is currently scheduled exclusively for broadcast on Mississippi PBS stations, I'm hopeful that a grassroots movement can get this movie to a broader audience soon. Please visit the main Mississippi ReMixed website to find out more about the director's mission, journey, and unique story that needs to be heard.

In the meantime, for those who might be interested in purchasing a digital download of Mississippi ReMixed – Original Music from the Documentary Film, click here.

Mississippi ReMixed – World Premiere

As the old song lyric goes, "I'm going to Jackson..."

In a matter of hours, Lauren & I will be flying to Jackson, MS for the private screening and subsequent world premiere of Mississippi ReMixed – an hour-long documentary directed by Myra Williams Ottewell – for which I composed the original music.

This project marks my first film score, and I'm very excited to see/hear the final finished product. The multi-talented Oren Hadar (of Juno fame) mixed both the music and the final audio for the film, and it was a pleasure working with him. He knows how to make you sound better than you really are, which is quite a powerful skill...

Monday's screening party will bring together many of those who have been involved in the making of the film (director, producers, technical staff, etc.), along with people whose stories are profiled within the documentary itself (James H. Meredith).

Also, stay tuned for further updates coming soon, including information regarding the release of an EP featuring original music from the soundtrack!
