Katherine

Hello there and welcome back to stage and scream. I'm your host, Katherine Stewart and my guest. Today is Jaye Davidson. Jaye joined our faculty in the fall of 2020 as an assistant professor of film production in our BFA Film Production program.

Katherine

Jaye comes to us by way of Atlanta where she worked extensively in that city's burgeoning film industry, both as a filmmaker and a teacher of filmmaking. In this conversation will talk about that some of her past and current projects, and Jaye will share her thoughts on Southern storytelling and filmmaking in the South. It's a really interesting conversation, so stay tuned.

Katherine

Hi Jaye

Katherine

Hi Katherine, how are you?

Katherine

I'm doing great how?

Katherine

Are you doing?

Jaye

I'm doing great.

Katherine

OK, so just to get started, why don't you tell us a little bit about your background?

Katherine

How did you get into filmmaking?

Katherine

Where'd you go to school?

Katherine

All that good stuff.

Jaye

And well, I mean, I was interested in film for a very long time since I was eight and.

Jaye

It's something that when I was in college at the University of Tennessee explored a little bit 'cause they had a program where you can make up your major an I did that and I took some classes and some culture classes, but it wasn't until after college I was like OK, I really want to do this film thing and it's not something I can dabble in since we night.

Jaye

Want to dabble in it?

Jaye

I mean, I want to be committed to more than anything else.

Jaye

Um, professionally speaking.

Jaye

So I went to Florida State.

Jaye

For grad school and it's an excellent graduate program.

Jaye

It's producing Oscar winning talent.

Jaye

Um and I actually.

Jaye

Have been a fan of Florida State.

Jaye

Since this all film.

Jaye

From them, whilst 14 at the Knoxville Film Festival at at the time is called Valley Fest and I was like oh, I really love this school.

Jaye

So when I got in I feel like I won the lottery and it's amazing.

Jaye

Amazing program and I still valor.

Jaye

I still talk to the people, the programmer.

Jaye

Uh, once month, even though I've been gone out of school for awhile.

Jaye

So that was a great education.

Jaye

And you know, I worked in the industry, but you know, for a while it's movies.

Jaye

But I wasn't love.

Jaye

Single lifestyle of that.

Jaye

So I kind of just allowed bunch of nonprofit work because I'm still very humanitarian oriented.

Jaye

I'd, you know, cited broad.

Jaye

When I was in college and did a lot of volunteer work in India and South America, so it's more drawn to nonprofits anyway and try to combine those loves, um.

Jaye

It was great and I an when you, you know when you do that those lead to different places.

Jaye

So I started working in the film industry in New Orleans.

Jaye

Realize it, it wasn't for me.

Jaye

What backs in my hometown in Knoxville to Conygar group work for ministries and and then?

Jaye

While I was there I had an opportunity to come down to Atlanta, GA for teaching job and while that film Mr exploded, so it was almost like came at the right at the beginning of the explosion.

Jaye

So that was amazing.

Jaye

'cause I got to.

Jaye

Be around with your film industry people and hear bout projects.

Jaye

But I also got to have my cake and eat it too because I get to work another.

Jaye

You know, in academia and nonprofits and eventually I have to work in commercials and works at a marketing firm in Atlanta for a year and a half.

Jaye

Um and worked on independent projects in Atlanta, and I very much enjoyed working there.

Jaye

What I kind of also realized that when you're working in that environment, working a lot and you're growing a lot and your skills are growing and you have a great up to do cool things like I got to make a documentary that.

Jaye

In Boston that would later feature John Kerry and all these amazing experiences, but it was also just kind of like I realized I wanted to.

Jaye

Have time to focus on my work.

Jaye

So I was like OK, I'm very interested in going into academia more 'cause they invest in work, but I also really love teaching so it really is that I love teaching more than I loved making a commercial or love teaching more than I loved working on in a non profit.

Jaye

And so I was like this is a great way to do something I really love and enjoy and feel like it benefits people an also have time and space to be an artist because we're working 5060 hours a week in these other industries you don't have space to be an artist.

Jaye

Um?

Jaye

At least in terms of your voice, you're doing your art 'cause you're editing your shooting and you're interviewing and and you're in concept meetings, but you're working on just your project.

Jaye

And I last year before I came to mold.

Jaye

This was even the craziest year of my professional life where I was teaching at the Georgia Film Academy two days a week.

Jaye

An I directed a film and short film and I was working on that night and then I was also working at creative agency three days a week so old Mrs felt like a godsend of.

 

Yes.

Jaye

OK, I can just breathe and focus on these.

Jaye

This an all those things.

Jaye

So that's why.

Jaye

I came here that leads into your next question.

Jaye

It's 'cause I really wanted a traditional academic environment.

Jaye

I love this school of teaching out in Atlanta.

Jaye

It was the Georgia Film Academy and I was helping people get on movie sets.

Jaye

But I I also realized I was like, no.

Jaye

I kind of want additional environment.

Jaye

There were not just training people to work in film, which is a great and Noble thing, but we're also kind of teaching people how to be an artist and how to think for themselves, which that wasn't the design of that program.

Jaye

The design.

Jaye

That program was very professional and I totally believe that program.

Jaye

But I also just was like no.

Jaye

I kind of want a little bit more traditional thing.

Jaye

And so when I so you know, I was very interested in Ole Miss.

Jaye

And when I apply because I've been an ox before, I love the culture, the creativity like it's so small so it's very southern world but.

Jaye

The.

Jaye

Like there's this great literary history with William Faulkner and John Grisham, and.

Jaye

I had spent I had.

Jaye

Worked in Memphis for awhile in a different project.

Jaye

So through the area.

Jaye

And.

Jaye

I was attracted to it and I feel very fortunate to be in the faculty over here.

 

Welcome.

Katherine

Glad to have you so it sounds like you've had quite a wide variety of experience from working with nonprofits doing commercials.

Katherine

You're in New Orleans or in Atlanta are in different educational environments.

Katherine

Having a bird.

Jaye

Decorate that didn't happen to you, right?

Jaye

Yes.

Katherine

What are, what are some of the favorite things that you've worked on?

Jaye

Um I.

Jaye

Word for a libertarian nonprofit, and I loved working on some of the projects that we did that highlighted different special people in history.

Jaye

Like we made a video actually an animated essay about Thomas Clarkston.

Jaye

Who was, you know, very important in helping in this translating.

Jaye

Say trade and very important.

Jaye

I mean, he's probably as important as we have with force and I loved working on that stuff because it was learning about, you know, the people who make the world a better place and the movements to make the world a better place.

Jaye

I really did love working in commercials in terms of the concepting I got to have the privilege of contributing to campaigns for like the Smithsonian and PGA and that was fun.

Jaye

Being on the side of things and coming up with story ideas and I.

Jaye

I, I mean I.

Jaye

I loved a lot of it.

Jaye

I know it wasn't I.

Jaye

I think it would, I what I wanted is not it wasn't.

Jaye

It was more just you want more.

Jaye

My favorite thing that I've done is my creative project that I did and it was inspired from my time working with Libertarians, which was to make a short film about the inventor, Margaret Knight.

Jaye

And that was from libertarian great money, and I kind of like, Oh well, I really love that more than anything.

Jaye

If everything ever did, Atlanta was to take an important story and not just make a video essay about her animated essay about ability, actually.

Jaye

Make a short film an area of something to put the film festivals, and you know.

Jaye

And then when you get to that high of like, OK, that's that's the best.

Jaye

You want more of that, and it's not that the other things are bad, it's just like oh I gotta get to this next.

Jaye

Thing which is you know where we want to go.

Jaye

And I definitely want to go with my time.

Jaye

Here is a faculty members who.

Jaye

Work on those type of creative projects while teaching at Ole Miss.

Katherine

So tell us a little bit more about that film.

Jaye

Yeah.

Jaye

OK, it's really like I said it's money.

Jaye

Inventor Morganite history has nicknamed her The Lady Edison and she invented the device that shows the paper bottoms to paper bags.

Jaye

And that's not the most exciting invention in the world.

Jaye

Oh, but what's awesome? But this woman is. She was just as like she's truly a genius woman. She had no education. He's very poor, 1870s time, period.

Jaye

Good when the story takes place, but she grew up in 1950s. No education in a child labor and just was super smart that even as a child she and this is not in the movie. It's referenced, but she invented this covering that ended up being a safety thing so she witnessed and worker getting an actual injury like they have is a cotton mill. And then the middle has this spike thing.

Jaye

She watched someone die and it was traumatizing to her, but she used her ingenuity and invented it covering and she did this at 12.

Jaye

Ann to 12.

Jaye

She saved all these lives but she didn't make any money.

Jaye

She didn't go to school, she just kept realizing on her own that she was brilliant but had no outlet.

Jaye

But she didn't stop and I think a lot who was soft in that case I would probably stop the case, but this one is truly brave.

Jaye

And she.

Jaye

Or it's really hard her own and she kept inventing so when she's working at a paper by company, I'm talking only people were selling paper bags with their hands. So every day she's toiling away as an adult woman's only in paper bags, and at night. For years she's going home. And she's like, there's gotta be a better, more efficient way to do this. And then she invented.

Jaye

And she comes up with plans.

Jaye

And then she goes through a pad off at.

Jaye

Someone's like, well, you're.

Jaye

Your this is already been patented.

Jaye

So she goes to this nightmare experience of like what what happened but she doesn't stop like she goes through a lawyer an she just says like OK this is mine and he is like OK and then he's like you're gonna have to pay me $100 a day to do this and like I don't have $100 a day right now for a lawyer.

Jaye

So I mean like I can't even imagine what that would have been like $1000 a day, and she's a factory worker. And then she goes.

Jaye

OK.

Jaye

And when people don't understand about patent issues in the United States, is there wasn't really a conversation.

Jaye

There's not like people were talking about this idea of like what makes someone the owner or something.

Jaye

If someone has a patent for it, and then they.

Jaye

They build all these machines.

Jaye

Will all these exchanges exist because of that capital right?

Jaye

And so he did.

Jaye

Her guy who stole her design Charles in and like he and one argument.

Jaye

Well he's the one who brought his stuff into it.

Jaye

So like yes you can design it.

Jaye

But like if no machines are made like who cares like she didn't do anything?

Jaye

But she's like, you know, no, I designed it and he wouldn't even be able to do that.

Jaye

And there is that risk.

Jaye

Because do inventions go forward at the inventor wants to hold on to something like what belongs to a person and what belongs to the collective.

Jaye

And we murdered night.

Jaye

She as a woman we just boldly like.

Jaye

Now it's mine.

Jaye

And then she was.

Jaye

Fine.

Jaye

Right?

Jaye

I mean, you think?

Jaye

Like she won and then she's like, OK, Well this is where my movie stars but like in after that it's like she didn't stop she was like alright I know I just spend this money on this lawyer but I'm gonna keep going and she created her own company and she invented all these things and had 89 more patents and we call the lady I sent in my films called Lady hasn't.

Jaye

And I understand why, but it's almost like why do we not know about her anyway?

Jaye

I mean, I know her inventions are as exciting as electricity or the Nickelodeon, but that's still an amazing human person.

Jaye

And so when you have the privilege of taking that and turning it into a story.

Jaye

It's it's very exciting experience and I don't think that the video essay you know it's informative.

Jaye

It doesn't get you in the psychological mindset of what it's like to be in that position.

Jaye

An that's everything, right?

Jaye

Like, how does someone in the moral courage to keep going?

Jaye

Like that, and then you're going in the dark and then you look back on it and you're like, well, because of her we have the type of IP culture that we have, which is if you invent it, it's you.

Jaye

And not every country has that, and that's what separates the United States from the rest of the world.

Jaye

And this woman changed the entire world.

Jaye

By just standing up for herself.

Katherine

Wow, sounds like a project you are very passionate about.

Jaye

Well, not all just love it.

Jaye

Do you like something like that?

Jaye

You're like as much as I had fun working on PGA commercial let me this morning.

Jaye

You were saying.

Katherine

It sounds too like there's more of her story to tell.

Jaye

Yeah.

Katherine

You mentioned that your film stopped before the end of her story.

Katherine

Do you foresee being able to tell more of her story at?

Katherine

Some point I would hope.

Jaye

I definitely you know that would be exciting. Unfortunately, it's very hard to even tell women's.

Jaye

Stories anyway, I mean we have Marie Currie story and you know told that was a very interesting.

Jaye

Movie I watched it.

Jaye

So.

Jaye

But yeah, I I think there's so many fascinating women.

Jaye

Um, from history that no one knows anything about, and in general, like I think there's so many fascinating people in history, men, women, or what have you that are we're standing on the shoulders of Giants.

Jaye

We maybe only know like a few days.

 

Um?

Jaye

And yeah, but I mean I would love to you, especially since you know if you followed her from childhood to adulthood.

Jaye

Just this amazing event.

Katherine

Would you say this is perhaps your niche as a filmmaker?

Jaye

No, I just like it.

Jaye

I just said sorry that one through I.

Jaye

I mean I think I I feel what I'm drawn to.

Jaye

Stories that have a time and a place I mean a short film when I was in film school about boys, two boys, two brothers, fictional characters on trying to cope with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Jaye

And in that story that I wrote, they basically there's older brothers, little brother, and they're also dealing with going through a divorce, so it's about the older brother coming up with this imaginative plan where he convinces the little brother.

Jaye

Or that if they make model rockets and they can stop the Cuban missiles by shooting them into the air and stopping his missiles, and it makes no scientific sense, but it's not even.

Jaye

It's not even a.

Jaye

It's not even like I never, you know, it's not as surreal movie where they actually stop the missiles.

Jaye

It's literally.

Jaye

Their way of coping with trauma and the older brothers way of protecting the little brother from trauma.

Jaye

And I and I thought it was funny when my friends he worked with me.

Jaye

He came back from this movie and I was like, well I.

Jaye

I swear I'm not really trying to make all these period pieces.

Jaye

It's just one of those things that when you are, I'm fascinated by time and place.

Jaye

I'm fascinated by how.

Jaye

Oh

Jaye

When you're in this environment and during, these will fence how it brings out a particular reaction in a person that would not be otherwise if they were in a different decade, or if they're in a town over you.

Jaye

Know Cuban missile crisis is affecting the whole nation, but that took place in South Florida, so.

Jaye

Imagine going through the Cuban Missile Crisis in South Florida and you're a child.

Jaye

An I it was not alive then so but I tried to imagine that I try to use my own personal experience.

Jaye

Articulate that fear because that's if you're growing up in the Cuban Missile Crisis and you're in Canada, you're probably a little afraid, but it's not next door.

Jaye

It's not this annihilating threat breathing down.

Jaye

Your neck and giving you massive anxiety, and I grew up in Europe in Knoxville, TN where oh grid was there and I talked to a lot of adults where they had similar trauma where they made the bomb.

Jaye

They're and their words a little bomb back.

Jaye

There's a real anxiety in those individuals that my parents didn't have, even though they did grow up in the same time period and I can cover and everything.

Jaye

Because they grew up in Alabama in just a few states away, they didn't have that trauma that they carried with them.

Jaye

Decades later, these individuals dead.

Jaye

So that's what I'm fascinating. I'm fascinated by how were shaved. I think Mississippi is a unique place if obviously Faulkner has covered that very well. Also, is drunker some? There is a speciality to the culture here I, you know. I have stories that take place in Atlanta. I'm sorry. Please place in New York in LA.

Jaye

And what I'm interested like Atlanta is, you know, I love Atlanta.

Jaye

It's very nice city.

Jaye

And I'm, you know, I'd love to see more stories about that city, and I think you had a question broadly about the South and why I'm interested in the South.

Katherine

Yeah I did I was gonna ask I just I I know that a lot of your education.

Katherine

A lot of your work has taken place in the Southeast in particular, and a lot of it around Atlanta too.

Katherine

And if there's kind of what you were just saying, there's something special.

Katherine

I wasn't there something special about most places, but is there something in particular about?

Katherine

The southeast or this region that is compelling to you or or that you think is special, is a place for filmmaking even.

Jaye

So I I feel like I won the lottery, I won the lottery by being alive during the Atlanta Boom and I appreciate it because I went to film school and there was no Atlanta boom.

Jaye

Yeah.

Jaye

I went to New Orleans.

Jaye

And you know, in Atlanta, in New Orleans, in New Orleans, they make things, and it's cool.

Jaye

But let land is really taking it to the next level, which no other place in the South has done where land is like, no, we just want to film here.

Jaye

We want to be a player here.

Jaye

And that's been a real privilege.

Jaye

Watching that, uh, close and watching my friends be part of that.

Jaye

And my former Dean in my phone school is the current President of Pinewood.

Jaye

But I think they got bought out by something else.

Jaye

But watching people I know the intricately involved in in the most important shift.

Jaye

In our in Southern history, in terms of filmmaking, that's been something to be, you know, that's amazing.

Jaye

I feel it's important because, you know, we think.

Jaye

Southern tradition all right, this is a great literary tradition.

Jaye

I mean, I grew up in Knoxville where you have Cormac McCarthy, Nikki Giovanni, you have James Agee an you know, and there's.

Jaye

Such a great music tradition.

Jaye

Especially in Tennessee, Memphis, Nashville, and.

Jaye

The Apple Watch you work.

Jaye

With these great artists coming from.

Jaye

This part of the world an obviously these great artists moral, and you know, an Missouri and all that too.

Jaye

So I'm not just saying that, but I think what I what was lacking my whole life is.

Jaye

There isn't a great southerns is a great southern expression and food.

Jaye

And music and literature, but there's not great Southern expression film, so when you're growing up in the South, and I know the Knoxville, but I did have the privilege where there was opportunity for me if I wanted to stay to work in video.

Jaye

But I was like either I make crime dramas or make.

Jaye

Home renovation videos.

Jaye

Right, and someone that Atlanta opened the door where they're making everything there.

Jaye

And then making everything there in Stranger Things is made there, but it takes place in Indiana, an Ozarks there.

Jaye

But exploits or whatever.

Jaye

And it's amazing.

Jaye

I'm I'm looking for it.

Jaye

Make movies in Atlanta.

Jaye

I don't care what you make it where they place, but then there is this real voice of like, well, you're making things here that's amazing.

Jaye

Don't stop but like can we talk about this amazing city of Atlanta because?

Jaye

It's a unique place.

Jaye

It's a southern city, but there's like a hippie culture.

Jaye

There's a strong rap culture, there's a strong.

Jaye

It's the birthplace of the Civil rights movement.

Jaye

It's fascinating.

Jaye

Place words.

Jaye

It's representation in film.

Jaye

And then you look at other movies for the self like besides small independent movies by like Craig Brewer, which.

Jaye

You know, great progress here.

Jaye

That's amazing.

Jaye

Good for handling.

Jaye

I'm glad you made a movie about limpus, but like outside of these brave loan artist, you don't have this like.

Jaye

Lot of dialogue in the.

Jaye

South, but you usually have is bad caricatures.

Jaye

And so I think being in a place where things are changing, Atlanta is becoming the focal point of the South.

Jaye

I would be.

Jaye

Absolutely remiss to miss out on this opportunity for Southern Voices have time to really express themselves, and I kind of see it as a collective thing.

Jaye

I don't see it as like.

Jaye

Oh Tennessee voices or Georgia voices I see is like if you're from Mississippi.

Jaye

This is a great.

Jaye

Opportunity to be involved in this change so.

Jaye

You can express yourself.

Jaye

And expressed what you see around you.

Jaye

So the voices that are above the South or actually southerns voices, or at least transplants that I've been here long enough to have a dialogue and not just bad caricatures.

Jaye

And I think that it's really sad because the legacy of the software people read.

Jaye

The books, they get it.

Jaye

And they the food, they get it, and they listen to the music.

Jaye

They get it.

Jaye

But then you watch a movie and it's like what?

Jaye

I mean, I love Reese Witherspoon.

Jaye

As much as the next person, but that's not what Alabama is really like.

Jaye

And still watch that movie.

Jaye

She's adorable but like and that's a flattering impression.

Jaye

How many unflattering impressions of the South that are not based in reality?

Jaye

You know?

Jaye

I mean, if you're going to criticize, criticize accurately, is all a lie.

Jaye

You know, and if you're going to honor it, honor it accurately like I wanna see people that I grew up with and states that I visited represent it in all of their dexterity in diversity.

Jaye

And that's why the moment I'm very committed to the South and and moment, I'm very committed to teaching here and.

Jaye

It was very committed to teaching in Georgia like I.

Jaye

Very much believe in what they're doing in Georgia like and what they're trying to do and where they're going and very impressed.

Jaye

See.

Jaye

They also fashion about other things besides letting us.

Katherine

You're a champion for Southern filmmaking.

Jaye

I am and I'm a champion for that. They want to go to New York in LA. That's great, but like let's have. It's fine if you want to. That's great, no shady as them. Their individual small over the country had moved there to express themselves.

Katherine

Yeah, is Atlanta a place you would recommend young film makers?

Katherine

Maybe recent graduates who are just starting out?

Katherine

Is that a good?

Katherine

Is that a good place for them to start out in?

Jaye

I think so.

Jaye

Um, it's a little harder if you want to do post or writing, but even if you don't know what you want to do, 'cause I didn't realize until is there, like I went down there for teaching, but also like the production was around I did I very much enjoy production.

Jaye

Is left on.

Jaye

Your still at time period.

Jaye

You need to figure out what exactly you want to do some.

Jaye

Are you really drawn to more editing or writing or production?

Jaye

And you don't?

Jaye

You think you know when you're in school, but you really don't know until you know.

Jaye

Even at school, you still don't understand?

Jaye

No, because you like more than one thing, right?

Katherine

Right?

Jaye

And you're good at more than one thing and the opportunity right in front of you is not necessarily your deepest passion, but it's like right there and you need to take it 'cause you have.

Jaye

Bills and you want to be close?

Jaye

Your partner and all these things that happen in life?

Jaye

You may be with your mom or whatever it is.

Jaye

Yeah, right?

Jaye

Once you get more used to being like an adult, then you kind of feel like you're gonna need to go through.

Jaye

This thing and the nice thing about Elena is you have you can have your cake and eat it too if you're southern, because you can still be close to home.

Jaye

It landed in the service South.

Jaye

That's what it's the cultural capital itself.

Jaye

It's in the center, so I have friends who live in Florida and they loved it because they can just either drive back to more than Florida in a few hours.

Jaye

Or they could hop on a plane and go back to Tampa.

Jaye

And you know when you think of, well, five hours from Atlanta, you can go to Tallahassee or five hours from Atlanta are going to Oxford are three hours from Atlanta.

Jaye

You can go to Knoxville or 4 hours Nashville or just five hours long.

Jaye

Once it's really a great center, great spoke with the wheel, so if you're still like getting your bearings and you want to go home for a weekend, that's great, but in the mean time, during the week you can work on HBO shows.

Jaye

Like Netflix, yeah, or even just a national commercial and.

Jaye

So you get to grow professionally while still figuring getting that emotional support from your family, which you really need when you graduate from school. And so they went there few years in an. I know they wanna do like they get me there. So I want to be right here. I'll go to LA or yeah, I really do want to go New York or I do want to build my house in Atlanta and have a life here 'cause I'm happy working.

Jaye

On sets.

Jaye

That's why only that gives people.

Jaye

It gives people the opportunity to grow professionally while still having healthy.

Jaye
