Director Nolan Dean & Griot Arts invite you to attend. What is Film Delta? Film Delta is an initiative to provide on the job training for below the line film crew positions and incentives to producers who hire our trainees. Our vision is to create a fully sustainable film & TV industry ecosystem right here in the Delta! Film Delta will launch on the set of Bluestown, Dean's debut feature film, a suspense drama steeped in the Clarksdale Blues. Our inaugural class of 6-10 young adults will begin careers in film production, featuring pre-production and on set training, they will be trained to work as Production Assistants in art, camera, sound and grip & electric departments, as well as in our production offices. Check out the screening of a short documentary about Film Delta’s job training program, and the first-look teaser of Bluestown, an epic redemption story that traverses Clarksdale, Helena-West Helena, and the lonely highways in-between. Screenings will be followed by a Q&A session about Film Delta and Bluestown. By developing a trained workforce on feature films like Bluestown, Film Delta will create a fully sustainable film & TV industry ecosystem, not only producing its own stories but also attracting more producers and films to shoot in our region.
