Hi everyone I'm on the team behind "From the Mouthpiece on Back", a feature-length documentary about courage, hope, optimism, love, respect, some wind and water – and the kick-ass brassy jazz band, TBC Brass Band, from New Orleans. Questlove from The Roots appears in the movie, and award-winning actress Kerry Washington narrates. We've screened the movie in four film festivals so far this year and have had great reviews ("terrific," "inspiring," "incredible"). We plan to self-distribute the DVD exclusively via our website in August 2008. Our goal is to reach as wide an audience as possible to inspire others with TBC's story, to help TBC enhance its opportunities for success post-Katrina, and to donate a portion of any profits to help rebuild the great city of New Orleans (by sponsoring the "FTMOB Team Home" at Make It Right charity and by helping the Silence Is Violence charity and TBC itself). (We also hope to get out of debt for making the movie.) It'd be great if you checked out website (www.ftmob.com), MySpace paqe (http://www.myspace.com/fromthemouthpieceonback) or Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17200066692) Let us know what you think by posting on our MySpace page or shoot us an email at ftmobmovie@gmail.com Thanks!
