Memphis Lives
Shown: concept art. Memphis Lives is in development.
The underlying stories that are brilliant about Memphis, the stories that made Memphis amazing, showcased one by one.
The Memphis Collage: A Companion in the Works
Layne's direction for Memphis is the same as the series: not one scene, but a collage of the stories of Memphis. The birth of jazz and the music that rose here. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis. The amazing people who came through Memphis and shaped it. Elvis Presley and his faith. Not perfect people, any of them. A city that lives as a singularity, with a culture found nowhere else in this country.
Concept collage for Layne's review. Memphis Lives is in development; this is a direction, not a finished film's poster.
The panels: a painting of a Memphis street in 1907, people entering a church at dusk, from the Episode 1 art of Little Known Stories, where Memphis is one of the places the Azusa fire reached. A crowd outside a Beale Street movie house in 1939 and a drummer in a Memphis juke joint in 1939, both photographed by Marion Post Wolcott for the Farm Security Administration, public domain, Library of Congress. First Baptist Church at 379 East Beale Street, from the Historic American Buildings Survey, public domain, Library of Congress.
