It’s a great film (even if I say so myself). Google the title and you’ll see the festivals we’ve done and the awards we won.
Be on the lookout for news of the production of a new film – a drama – based on the lives of Matthew Kennedy and his late wife and co-duo pianist, Anne Gamble, and the Fisk University of the early 1960’s and 70’s. This film will examine Nashville’s history of segregation, and its effects on Fisk and the surrounding neighborhood. It’s gonna be HOT… with some big stars!
