Garage Bands – Taking a peek into the world of Memphis’s garage bands from the heyday of rock ‘n roll, Bearden explores the funky, down-home world of rock ‘n rollers through interviews with some of the most well-known names of Memphis rockers and others. We’re not talking necessarily the most famous on the national scene, but some of the names that really shaped Memphis music.

Overton Park – It’s one of the nation’s largest urban park areas, and in this video Bearden takes a look at a true urban treasure. Now over 100 years old, Overton Park is a world of huge, towering trees which comprise a magnificent climax forest, right in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee. The park is complete with a zoo, wonderful flora and fauna and even a ghost or two. It’s a beautiful montage of video images, a creative collage of interviews with people who really know the park, and a tribute to the environmental heritage of the city

Elmwood Cemetery – Historic Elmwood Cemetery provides an eternal resting place to some of the community’s most notable names. It’s living history, with all the beauty of magnificently sculpted tombstones inscribed with mayors, business leaders and even Civil War spies. In this video, Willy Bearden offers interviews with the civic caretakers of this gem and provides some wonderful footage of a Memphis treasure.

A Horn Island Journal – Each year, students and friends of the Memphis College of Art take a pilgrimage to Horn Island, a small island off the coast of Mississippi in the Gulf of Mexico. They spend a week on this primitive island to create their own memories through photography, drawings, paintings and other media. The work is presented later in the year at an exhibit at MCA. This video is a documentation of the island and its annual visit by some Memphis artists and friends.
