the doc has arrived!

It's been an exciting week with the lead-up to the release of One Big Holiday with My Morning Jacket's deluxe box set, and it's been arriving worldwide! It's so incredible to physically see our documentary DVD with all the other packaging of MMJ's sixth, and arguably finest, album Circuital.

The film has been getting a lot of great press, including this fantastic article from Consequence of Sound: http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/05/insight-my-morning-jackets-one-big-holiday/

I am so proud to be part of this release, both as a representative of my hard-working crew and as part of the My Morning Jacket family. The film has been a labor of love and I could not be happier with the final result.

'one big holiday' release!

It's official! The documentary I produced last fall on Louisville and My Morning Jacket is being released Tuesday 31 May with the band's deluxe box set of its new album, Circuital. Titled One Big Holiday, it documents the preparations of a homecoming concert at the newly-opened downtown arena, including interviews with the members of the band, former Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson, ear x-tacy owner John Timmons, members of opening band Wax Fang, and the conductor of the Louisville Youth Orchestra (LYO).

Directed by Michael Feld, the documentary thematically speaks to what it means to follow your dreams and the strength of having a sense of home, no matter where that may be. Beautifully shot in HD, the film combines footage of Louisville, rehearsals with My Morning Jacket and the LYO, interviews, and the concert itself. While I believe fans of the band and the city will love the film, I'm most excited about its universal appeal and showing the world the symbiotic relationship between two of my favorite things: My Morning Jacket and the city of Louisville, Kentucky.
