Film Synopsis: "Sanctified Boogie" follows the true story of an original Texas country blues preacher named KM Williams. The director trailed Mr. Williams for 8 months; from coffee house gigs, to the streets of Dallas’ Deep Ellum, back home to Avery, Texas, to his homemade recording studio (where he has produced 8 critically acclaimed CDs), all the way to his small country church in Clarksville, Texas.
Whether he is preaching or performing the blues: It’s all about the truth of his message.
Through interviews and performances, the film explores the life of an amazing blues artist; a musician cut from the same cloth as Blind Lemon Jefferson or Charlie Patton, living life in the 21st century. “Sanctified Boogie” is a thirty-minute DVD loaded with extra features and lots of smoking live performance footage! 15.00 plus 2.00 for shipping! Don't miss this exciting DVD about an incredible blues man!
QUOTES
"'Sanctified Boogie' skips the added spin of many documentaries and gets straight to the essence of K.M. Williams both as a performer and as a person. Kudos to the director for capturing the stark unembellished truth of this blues man's life on film, because as K.M. says 'The blues is truth.'"
~ Blue Lisa, KNON Radio.
"Fountain's short film on KM Williams is thoughtfully written, beautifully shot and brilliantly edited. The viewer is instantly drawn into the subject matter which has served to create KM Williams and keeps him there for the duration, which, in the end, is not nearly enough. The film explores Williams' Mississippi Delta and Texas Brazos Valley roots and lays them bare for all to see, hear and enjoy. I can't imagine a more perceptive film being created to introduce a new talent - especially one so deserving as KM Williams. This young man is a living 'crossover'. He crosses blues and gospel and makes it all so appealing to anyone with heart. Sanctified Boogie, indeed!"
