A NOTE FROM: TUPELO UNDERGROUND

$$$

A film-loving group that puts together a unique film festival in Tupelo that generates income for all filmmakers involved!

$$$

Hey! It's our 3rd year of Tupelo Underground. We didn't realize what a success it would be when we started and it just keeps growing.

I'm writing all of you local filmmakers (and associates of filmmakers) so that you can help us get out the word for submissions and also help us get people in the seats. We accept submissions from all over the world, but we do like to showcase our home talent.

So if you have something to submit, please do so. We don't have a limit on submissions and we don't charge a submission fee. This is a one day festival so keep in mind that we don't have time but for a few feature length films. (Deadline is May 31st)

Also, if you have something in the works that you'd like to submit that's NOT finished, please just let us know ahead of time so that we get an idea of who wants to be involved.

You can help in other ways too...promotion and helping to get sponsorship. We haven't yet sorted out where we're getting a PA. Sponsorship will get you a mention in the program.

As an added bonus, filmmakers, we split the profits (any money left after covering promotional materials, rental, etc.) with each film that we show after the night is over!

Submit DVD to:

April / Tupelo Underground

1059 CR 183

Blue Springs, MS 38828

Be there...6pm June 25th @ The Link Centre!

Sneaky Beans, Byron Knight, Josh Hailey, AJC, Tre Pepper, Andy Culpepper, Clay Hardwick, and Stephanie Guest for helping make this first show a HUGE success! If you missed the show, no worries, you can catch our videocast below.

By the way, in the past few months, we've been going through the Mississippi music scene with a fine-toothed comb, and have uncovered some amazing artists!!! Please come back often, as we'll start posting these amazingly creative artists! Until next time, we hope you enjoy our video archive of the July 26 "Bring the Music Home" #1 featuring: The Forms (Brooklyn, NY), J-Tran, & Argiflex.

Cheers and love!
-Daniel Guaqueta, MH

July is going to be a fun month! Summer is officially in full swing, and to boot, Mississippi Happening is bringing something new to our table. We are starting our "Bring The Music Home" series July 26. "Bring The Music Home" is an effort to bring touring bands to Mississippi for the sole purpose of encouraging networking opportunities for our local bands serious about taking their music outside of Mississippi.

July 26, we kick off this journey at Sneaky Beans in Jackson, MS with live performances!!!

We'll have The Forms from Brooklyn, NY. They run their own record label; so this is a great opportunity to come and ask questions about how they run it, book their nationwide tours, and generate a living doing what they love.

Also, if you are unable to make the show at Sneaky Beans, no worries, we'll have a Live Online VIDEOCAST of the whole show right here on the Mississippi Happening webpage!

Hope to see y'all out!
