The 78 Project Movie is a film about connections, framed by a road trip across America to record musicians on a vintage Presto 1930s direct-todisc acetate recorder. The 78 Project creators Alex Steyermark and Lavinia Jones Wright shot the film from August 2012 to September 2013, driving across America in a tiny Kia Soul loaded to the roof with cameras, their Presto, spare tubes, blank discs, and a toolbox. Over the course of their journey, the pair visited established and emerging musicians in their homes to cut once-in-a-lifetime 78rpm records. From Tennessee to Mississippi and from California to Louisiana, the folk singers, punk rockers, Gospel, and Cajun singers in The 78 Project Movie tell in their own words what it is to be American today, sharing their lives and histories through intimate musical performances of classic American songs.
For each screening a local musician is pulled in, plays a song and records it onto a 78 live after the film is over. Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen will be doing that honor here.
