Described as both “dignified and disarming” by author Bill Friskics-Warren, the new film “SEVEN SIGNS” focuses on the music, mythology and faith that persist, despite heavy modernization, in the American South.
The documentary also marks the directorial debut for J.D. Wilkes, the artist/musician lauded by ALARM magazine as “the closest thing there is to the Ambassador of Genuine, Traditional Southern Culture.” Wilkes also contributes to the chilling “SEVEN SIGNS’” soundtrack... alongside the rawest talent The Delta and Appalachia have to offer.
With these strong southern roots, the filmmaker has made a profound, empathetic statement that celebrates the eccentricities and traditions of an increasingly marginalized area of America. Yet it is an area whose cultural identity stubbornly continues to thrive in the underground today.
Fresh from a sold out premiere in Nashville, TN, “SEVEN SIGNS” is currently setting up new screenings across the country and is even being solicited to appear throughout the film festival circuit.
Soliciting events include: The Raindance Film Festival (the UK’s largest film festival), The FantastiaFest in Montreal, The Deep Blues Music/Film Fest in Wisconsin, and The Backseat Film Fest in Pennsylvania. For more information email films@jdwilkes.com
