PRODUCED, WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY JASON ORR

for FunkJazz Kafé/ Life Arts Films

This film is the story of a cultural legend as told by the innovators
of an important, and in some cases overlooked, era in Black culture.
Spanning the late 1980′s through to the early 2000′s, this story goes
deep into the fabric of soul music, it’s definitions, it’s pioneers,
it’s offspring, it’s movements and the challenges with the “mainstream”
industry.
