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).

To find out more information on the film, Monday's screening party, and Thursday night's premiere broadcast on Mississippi PBS stations, click here.

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