Nashville Treasure Box

Flood or fire, the first thing we try to protect in our home is the irreplaceable. On our return to trip to Nashville, post flood, Tim Ormond was kind enough to share personal photos from the Ormond family with a catch– they had been submerged in river water, in a plastic box. Luckily the box was recovered, but many stills were stuck together with river glue.

On our first meeting, after one year of phone calls and e-mails, Mr. Ormond told me, “I don’t know why but I trust you,” and let me leave to Chicago with a heavy stack of personal photos for use in Soul Winners. The stack had everything from 40 year-old film ad mock-ups to photos of the family jet-setting to film openings in the Deep South. Head shots of June Carr Ormond and Ron Ormond Vaudevillian days, glued to evangelical film summaries. Right now we’re doing our best to retouch digital copies and place the actual photos into archival albums.

This trip to Nashville was marked by a shift in crew. Our beloved DP Sean Clark has relocated to New York City working towards his goals in narrative film, but still on board for our NYC and LA shoots– and we welcomed in co-worker and good friend Mark Skala who pulled a 14 hour day as camera man, troubleshooting shifting sunlight and funny hand-held angles.

Next leg in the journey takes us to NYC, until then.

Happy Fall.
