"We seek out various characters and stories and musical moments that go to reinforce the notion of the South as a creative place and a place of intelligence and eccentricities, yes, but underpinning all of that is this profound sense of self and clarity of identity, confidence, and faith, and lots of great, virtuous things that never gets made mentioned whenever you see a documentary or movie about it. It seems like it's always like Jerry Springer dysfunction, mixed in with a little Hee-Haw cornpone humor and that's about all you get. I thought we would try to expand upon more like the characters, more along the lines of Flannery O'Connor and Faulkner's characters and intelligent, profound, intelligent characters that redeem that area. There's a lot of dysfunction and confusion and ignorance all over the world, you know the South does not corner the market on it. If anything, it produces more art and more great music than any other area that I can think of." staythirstymedia.com
