#FYC: I am SO excited that STAX: SOULSVILLE U.S.A. has been nominated for two EMMY Awards: Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Nonfiction Program. I would like to thank the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, HBO, executive producer Ezra Edelman (O.J.: Made in America), director Jamila Wignot (Ailey), executive producer Caroline Waterlow, executive producer Sophia Dilley, Concord Originals, White Horse Pictures, LLC and especially all the amazing artists, songwriters, musicians, and producers of Stax Records. Without their unceasing talent, tenacity and courage through the Jim Crow era, we wouldn't have the amazing music or the social consciousness today that they fought so hard for. They are truly the fabric of American history. HBO hosted a premiere event in New York City earlier this year to celebrate the launch of the series, and it featured a Q&A with Deanie Parker, director Jamila Wignot, and legendary Stax artist Booker T. Jones who surprises the audience with an impromptu performance. You can view the full interview on the HBO For Your Consideration website!
