Through NMHS Unlimited Film Productions, Dr. Clopton has produced 20 short films, five books, and three plays – all of which spotlight untold stories of people of African descent in Mississippi and the significant contributions that they made to our state. Spanning all across Mississippi, these narratives were each crafted through intense research and interviews in an effort to fully capture and convey compelling stories.
Passionate about sharing these untold stories of those who courageously stepped forward to create change for themselves and future generations, Dr. Clopton’s “Storytelling through Filmmaking” presentation is a chance for audiences to learn about significant moments in Mississippi’s history as they are brought to life through film. The presentation will showcase excerpts of a short film, paired with an engaging discussion around the storyline, the filmmaking process, and how to find your own voice through the art of filmmaking.
Guests can customize a presentation to fit their needs and select from a collection of Dr. Clopton’s films, including titles “Food Apartheid,” “Did Johnny Come Marching Home,” “In Spite of It All: The Ollye Brown Shirley Story,” and “Mississippi Justice.”
