OFF Alum Joe York was on the coast last week documenting the “Blessing of the Fleet” in Bayou La Batre. Joe is a multi-award winning filmmaker (including an OFF 2008 Best Mississippi Film) and is a contributor in both time and talents to the festival every year. He is currently working with the Southern Foodways Alliance and Media & Documentary Projects to produce a feature-length documentary exploring Southern culinary traditions. Check out the video below to see what Joe put together after spending time with the people of Bayou La Batre.
