About:

Witness the talents, struggles, and triumphs of four amazing Atlanta artists on the brink of stardom against the backdrop of a city on the verge of a renaissance.

NEXT: The Documentary follows the rising stars of Hip Hop photographer Shannon McCollum, Jazz and roll duo Daysahead, spoken word slam champion Ayodele Heath and literary agitator Jelani Cobb in a series of four vignettes slated to be launched as a weekly webisode series March 4.

Following the February 26 screening, there will be an interactive panel discussion with the featured artists – who will share their own personal stories of what it means to be an artist in Atlanta and what it means to be “next.”

The film project grew out of the NEXT concert series – a quarterly interactive salon of artist and audience collaboration, candid conversation and soul-baring performances from the city’s most groundbreaking artists across genres – literary, visual and musical.

NEXT: The Documentary was filmed by The Horne Brothers in collaboration with Mustard Seed Communications and ALISIAS. For more information on NEXT, contact: P. Faith Carmichael at info@nextatlanta.org
