about the film

First things first, I am not a filmmaker.  I am a singer who can barely work a camera.  But, I thought that I owed it to myself, Sheila and my life changing summer experiences to put together all the footage I collected.  This is not meant to be a serious documentary work – those who wish to learn more about Sheila and her singing can refer to my biographical essay on her. 

There will also be a professional documentary released about Sheila and her student singers soon called Over Home: Love Songs from Madison County, a master’s project from filmmakers Kim Dryden and Joe Cornelius, which will be nothing less than beautiful.  Find out more here

This film is just a love letter from me to the songs, and to the people that gave them to me and to the land that makes us kin.  I hope the love comes through.
