WORLD PREMIERE- 2009 SUNDANCE FESTIVAL

In 1997, Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman made an historic offer to the high school in his hometown of Charleston, Mississippi: He would foot the bill for the school’s senior prom—on condition that both black and white students be allowed to attend. Even though the students shared classes and every other aspect of school life, Charleston High had a tradition of holding two proms—one white, one black. Freeman’s offer was ignored. In 2008, he made it again. This time, the school accepted and history was made, but not without significant opposition. Prom Night in Mississippi tells the highly entertaining and ultimately hopeful story of the fallout from Freeman’s offer, as senior students of Charleston High rally in preparation for the school’s first-ever integrated prom.

WORLD PREMIERE- 2009 SXSW FILM FESTIVAL

Saint Misbehavin' is the true story of cultural phenomenon Wavy Gravy,  a man whose commitment to making the world a better place has never wavered. We experience the impact one person can have and connect to the hope that each one of us can make a difference while keeping our sense of humor. Wavy Gravy is best known as the official MC of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, a hippie icon, a clown, and even a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor. In Saint Misbehavin' we meet a true servant to humanity who carries his message through humor, compassion and a song he sings, called "Basic Human Needs." Saint Misbehavin' weaves together intimate verite footage, reflections from an array of cultural and counter-cultural peers, and never-before-seen archival footage to tell a story that is bigger than the man himself.
