Eudora Welty film and book coming this fall!
Renowned short story writer Eudora Welty is explored through intimate and charming interviews, both with Eudora herself and with family and friends. Seen through the backdrop of Jackson, Mississippi, Eudora is a revealing portrait of adventure, daring, humor and love as we meet a writer we only thought we knew.
The book releases September 14 at the Mississippi Book Festival in Jackson. The film also premieres at the festival. Then, the broadcast premiere on television will take place on Mississippi Public Broadcasting a little later this fall. Once it airs on MPB, the documentary will then be streamed online here for free! Be sure to come back and watch the acclaimed film. Find the book at Lemuria Books and other independent bookshops in Mississippi!
Welcome to Thaxton Studios.
“Anthony Thaxton is an extremely talented painter, multimedia artist, musician, singer, and storyteller. It’s just not fair to the rest of us that he is also an excellent videographer, director, and editor. Anthony is one of the most creatively talented people I have ever known. We have worked together on various projects for 15 years and he has always done the work of two or three people, but with the efficiency of one. He is a consummate professional and works tirelessly to meet deadlines.”
—ROBERT ST. JOHN, Chef, Restauranteur, Author, Television Host
“There are few people who are truly ‘renaissance ‘men...but Anthony Thaxton’s imagination, artistic vision, and creativity make him one of them. He is the most diversely talented and immensely gifted person I have ever worked with. He is one of the most thoughtful and personable individuals around. I savor every opportunity I have to work with him.”
-STEVE CASTEEL, Author and Pastor

"When you work with Anthony and Thaxton studies, just relax and do whatever Anthony says. He has an uncanny ability to visualize the final product almost complete, right there at the start, and all you have to do is follow directions. The final product will unfailingly be professional, creative, and visually beautiful. He's a small town guy with a worldclass talent. How could you ask for more. Besides, it's just plain fun to be involved with Thaxton Studios!”
—MARIJANE WHITFIELD, Award-winning Educator
”Anthony Thaxton is one of the most creative persons I know. My wife and daughter are artists; Both,with me, collect his paintings. He does a phenomenal job as the director/producer of 30 the minute t.v show, “We Believe in Memphis” which I co-host with Shane Stanford. This show is getting wide public attention. I can’t think of anything to which Thaxton Studios could not could not add a creative dimension.”
