More exciting news emanating from the Broke & Hungry Compound


Broke & Hungry Records logoAlong with our buddy Roger Stolle of Cat Head Presents and principal film partners Damien Blaylock and Kari Jones, Broke & Hungry Records is pleased to debut the film preview for our upcoming blues documentary, “M for Mississippi: A Road Trip Through the Birthplace of the Blues.”

The film and accompanying soundtrack are slated for release this fall. Those interested in pre-ordering both the DVD and CD are invited to do so today! (You know what they say about a bird in the hand . . . ).


To learn more and to view the trailer, please visit the M for Mississippi Web site at http://www.mformississippi.com.


ABOUT THE FILM:
This timely road movie will explore the thriving underbelly of a dying American art form in the land where it began – Mississippi. Planned as a weeklong journey through the birthplace of the blues, M FOR MISSISSIPPI seeks to capture the proverbial "real deal" in its home where it is most comfortable and authentic -- the jukes, the front yards, the cotton fields. More than just a collection of concert performances, the film will collect the sounds, the images and the feel of both the performers and their native landscape – an environment essential to their livelihoods and inseparable from their art. Cultivating the fertile ground between such landmark theatrical travelogues as Buena Vista Social Club and Deep Blues, M FOR MISSISSIPPI aims to appeal to more than just the average blues fan. By showcasing such a fascinating foreign land so close to home, the filmmakers hope to inspire countless others to make their own road trips down Mississippi's blue highways.

PRE-ORDER THE FILM/SOUNDTRACK:
The principal filming of M FOR MISSISSIPPI is slated to take place in Spring 2008 with a DVD and soundtrack planned for release in Fall 2008. Click the web link below for pre-order information and support this worthy project.


SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
Broke & Hungry Records and Cat Head Presents are seeking marketing sponsors whose financial support will allow the project to be completed on time and in a manner that best reflects the amazing art and culture of Mississippi. Sponsors will receive significant credit in the film, its packaging and its marketing and media materials.
