We are constantly amazed by the creativity and talent in our little corner of Alabama. The Shoals musical history is well documented, and it continues to thrive. Just last night the Alabama Music Hall of Fame Induction honored the careers of six world-class musical talents, most of whom either come from northwest Alabama or spent a great part of their careers in the Shoals area, and multiple Grammy winning singer and Florence resident John Paul White emceed the event. But the Shoals is not just known for its music; filmmaking has made its mark on our area as well. From the work of local producers such as Tonya Holly, to the national recognition the Film and Digital Media program at the University of North Alabama continues to receive, there seems to be no limit to the area’s filmmaking potential.
We are always excited when a local film makes it through the jury process and is selected for screening at the Lindsey Film Fest, and this year we again have reason for celebration. UNA Alum and professional filmmaker Clay Thomas’s short vanguard film, “Mt. Pleasant,” is an official selection of the 2014 festival, and we could not be more pleased. Clay’s work has earned its way onto the Lindsey Fest spotlight before; his film "Little Boy Lost" won the Shoals Spotlight award at our 2012 event. If you already plan on being at the festival next week, make sure you make it to the Thursday, March 6 screening of “Mt. Pleasant” (in the 7pm screening block). If you are in the area and still undecided about your Thursday plans, come support local filmmaking and watch a great film by a very talented director. “See you at the movies!”
