Y’allywood Filmmaker Spotlight: Michael Dunaway, director of “Six Love Stories”

Michael Dunaway is a filmmaker, magazine editor, film festival director, and Avondale Estates Resident. His latest film, “Six Love Stories” makes its Atlanta premiere at Y’allywood 2016. He was kind enough to share some of his wisdom as a lifelong Southern Creative with us, along with his picks for the best film festival experiences.

First of all, I’ll address the elephant in the room. "Six Love Stories” was filmed in Los Angeles. Why are we screening it at Y'allywood, a festival for Southeastern films?

I think we need to be celebrating Southeastern filmmakers, no matter where they shoot their films. The fact is, for me, as an unproven narrative filmmaker with connections to some great LA actors, it was a very easy choice to shoot in LA. 

Do you self-identify as a "Southern Filmmaker”? What does that mean to you?

Absolutely, 100%. I grew up in Georgia, have lived here for most of my life, and still live here. I’m descended, on both sides of my family, from a long line of Southerners. My outlook and my artistic sensibility are fundamentally rooted in Southernness. And I have told Southern stories before. In fact, I’m developing my two dream projects, one of which takes place in Alabama and one in Tennessee. But I also think it’s interesting when we step outside our own experience and give our takes on other people’s stories, other communities’ stories. 6 LOVE STORIES is, among other things, an exercise in doing that.

Your film has some relatively serious star-power for our little festival. Alicia Witt, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Matthew Lillard are some of the actors who appear in your film, just to name a few. How did you come to be connected with such talent, and how did you convince them to join your project?

I’m very fortunate to be friends with a lot of incredibly talented actors, and that made this film possible. With the exception of Stephen Tobolowsky and Peter Bogdanovich, both of whom were more acquaintances of mine, virtually my whole cast were dear friends of mine from before the project. In some cases, way before the project – Carrie Preston and I grew up together!

What are some of the hurdles Georgia faces in regards to becoming a powerhouse for independent film production such as it is for multi-million dollar blockbuster production?

The biggest step is to lobby to drop, or at the very least dramatically lower, the budget minimum for tax incentive eligibility. Then we have to invest in things like the Georgia Film Academy and other organizations to provide legitimate cast and crew options locally. Then we have to convince directors and producers to stay in Atlanta rather than move to LA. Then we have to celebrate local film while still holding it to a very high standard – not just “good, for an Atlanta film.” It’s a huge, huge mountain to climb – but if Austin Texas can do it, Atlanta certainly can.

In addition to being an accomplished filmmaker, you are also the movies editor for Paste Magazine and the Creative Director of the prestigious Sarasota Film Festival. How did you come to creatively helm the good ship Sarasota?

I happened to meet the legendary Tom Hall, who ran Sarasota for twelve years, outside a Sundance screening of Amy Berg’s stunning WEST OF MEMPHIS. After seeing that film, I just had to talk to someone about it, so we struck up a conversation. We became fast friends, and I began attending Sarasota every year – once as a juror, once to do an “In Conversation” onstage with Lili Taylor, once as covering press, etc. And it quickly became my favorite festival. So when he moved on to run Montclair Film Festival and be closer to his family, he was good enough to recommend me, and Chairman Mark Famiglio and the board were good enough to give an unproven guy a shot. This coming April will be my third year as Creative Director there.

You've been busy attending pretty much every film festival there is for the past month or so, from Portland (where 6 Love Stories premiered) to TIFF, to Birmingham's Sidewalk festival. What film festival is your number one favorite to attend? What up-and- coming festivals have you attended that you feel deserve a nod?

Well, now that I can’t really name Sarasota any more… there really is something special about Sundance. January will be my eighth straight Sundance, and I have literally never left Park City without being changed by at least one film. It’s very special when you can count on that, year after year. As far as smaller festivals, I love what Rachel Morgan has done at Sidewalk in Birmingham, and what Dan Brawley has done at Cucalorus in Wilmington NC. Closer to home, Savannah Film Festival is a great experience. And because I’m a hometown boy, Macon Film Festival will always be a favorite.

You are also a new Avondale Estates resident. What is your favorite thing about living in the Avondale community? What type of business would you most like to see open in the neighborhood?

Without a doubt, my favorite thing about Avondale is the close-knit sense of community. It feels like the type of neighborhood that just doesn’t exist any more, where everyone knows everyone, where most of the town gathers to cook out at the community pool every weekend night, where your kids can walk around and find all the other neighborhood kids. It’s really special in that way. And of course it’s beautiful and so close to Decatur, etc etc etc. As far as businesses, give me a few more months here and I’ll let you know!

What is your favorite local brewery, and why is it Avondale Estates’ own Wild Heaven Craft Beers?

It is indeed Wild Heaven (by a nose over Athens’ Creature Comforts), and not just because Nick Purdy is one of my best friends. Here’s why I know Wild Heaven beers are great. Most of their offerings are outside of my preferred style of beer – I’m an IPA and Pilsner guy most of the time, and until recently they didn’t brew either. But I love all of them anyway. If Nick and Eric can brew a Coffee Brown Ale that appeals to a hophead like me, I know they’re doing something right. By the way, if you look in the kitchen scene of 6 LOVE STORIES, you’ll see Wild Heaven’s iconic Emergency Drinking Beer can prominently displayed.

“Six Love Stories” screens Sunday, October 2nd at 1:30PM at the Towne Cinema. Mr. Dunaway will also appear on the “Why Georgia?” panel to follow. Festival passes are available at www.yallywood.org.

Y’allywood Filmmaker Spotlight: Joshua Yates, director of “This is Yates”

This avant-garde North Carolina filmmaker has thrilled and disgusted audiences throughout the Southeast with his painful experimental memoir, “This is Yates.” He sat down to field some questions about the North Carolina movie scene, his favorite least favorite food, and the inescapable bummers of adulthood.

From whence do you hail, filmmaker? Describe your journey through life's twisted pathway thus far.

I was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I've been a nostalgic person for as long as I can remember, always fond of home movies and family photos. I grew up in a single-wide trailer that burned down when I was in kindergarten. We lost all of our VHS tapes, stuff like my dad teaching me how to write and stuff. He died in a motorcycle accident when I was 5. I recorded/edited what me and my friends did during our youth, which was a combination of skateboarding, fighting, and whatever else we thought was entertaining. Then I attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where my focus was Communication Studies. My mom overdosed during this time. In 2012 I was somehow accepted into grad school at the University of Iowa. After three years there, I earned my MFA in Film/Video Production and moved to South Carolina to begin a yearlong artist residency with the Nickelodeon Theatre, a non-profit cinema in Columbia. Currently I teach coursework in film studies and video production at my alma mater. I've always wanted to work at Waffle House.

What is your film "This is Yates" like? What was it like making it? How has it been received?

It's an analog-elegy that hates itself. It was edited over the course of three years, affording me time to think about traumatic shit and whether or not I should even make films. The reception has been polarized. People have walked out of screenings. When I screened it at Atlanta Film Festival earlier this year, a nice lady wanted to hug me afterward. That's how I learned what Snapchat is.

Tell us about the independent movie scene in your town. Is the moviegoing public receptive of local and/or independent films?

I drift between Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC. Both places have unique communities. Columbia top three: - Nickelodeon Theatre- Indie Grits- South Carolina Film Commission & Indie Grants Charlotte top three: - Joedance Film Festival- New Frequencies at McColl Center for Art + Innovation- Films on Tap

What has been your favorite all-time film festival experience?

My participation in Waterlines at Indie Grits this year.

What's the best place to grab a slice in Charlotte?

Benny's. I'm not really into pizza though. I want to make a pizza that substitutes crunchy peanut butter for tomato sauce and dill pickles for pepperoni.

You also had a music video in our Music Video Takeover on Thursday. Are music videos something you make often? Are they making a comeback in 2016?

Usually just one or two a year. I enjoy doing no-budget collaborations with hip-hop artists based in the southeast. I don't know if I'd say comeback because music video has always been a shape-shifting form. It never really died, it was just remediated. 

"This is Yates" is an extremely personal work using footage from your youth. It seems like you used to record a lot of your life. Is this something you still do today? Will the sequel be as intense as "This is Yates," or have things slowed down for you in adulthood?

Probably not a sequel, but Fayetteville will always have my love and creative interest. Lately I enjoy still images more than moving ones. Adulthood is depressing because I hate writing emails and paying bills and wearing pants.

Assuming you're not actually actively working on "This is Yates 2," what are you working on these days?

I'm wrapping up the editing on my first narrative short: The Dying of the Deads. It was adapted from a short story written by Jeff Jackson, who's based in Charlotte. When I saw him last he had bitten into a bar of soap. He is great.

Got any parting words of wisdom for our moviegoing and/or filmmaking public?

Listen to people that don't look like/sound like you.

“This is Yates” screens Saturday, October 1st during the “Lovable Weirdo Shorts,” 7PM at the Towne Cinema. Festival passes are available at www.yallywood.org.
