Elvis inspires locally produced documentary
By Donovan Atkinson Jayplay writer
Each year in Memphis, Tenn., a week-long celebration of Elvis' life draws fans, Elvis impersonators and anyone interested in the King.
Geoff Harkness, a Lawrence graduate student in sociology, experienced Elvis Week during a road trip in 1997, and in August 2000 he had an idea inspired by the celebration.
"I thought it would be a wonderful documentary," Harkness said. "Sort of the Trekkies of Elvis."
Elvis Week is Harkness' third film and was shot during a period of five daws.
Kepler Miner, Lawrence graduate student in education, was a member of Harkness' production crew.
"His approach to film making is rather genius — let the film make itself — and it did," Miner said
Even though the turn-out for Elvis Week 2000 was not as high as 1997, the 20th anniversary of
Elvis' death, the crew still found plenty of "nonstop Elvis madness" to film. However, Harkness soon found interviewing fanatics and impersonators to be boring.
"We decided that what maybe we should do is go into the bad parts of town and ask people there what they thought of Elvis," he said.
Harkness took his crew to Hollywood, a notorious ghetto within Memphis. The crew interviewed Jacqueline Smith, a woman who was evicted from the Lorraine Motel when it was turned into the National Civil Rights Museum. Smith had been living outside the hotel since 1988, protesting the museum.
"After seeing a lot of 'dedicated' Elvis fans out there and what they were all about and then finding Jacqueline Smith, and she kind of put a new perspective on what dedication is," Miner said.
"Ultimately, the message, if there's a message to it, is that there's more important things to devote your life to than Elvis," Harkness said.
After the documentary was completed, Harkness and his production team took the film to the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam. Harkness noticed a difference between his film and the others.
"Everybody over there was networking and passing out copies of their film and big posters," Harkness said. "And we had nothing. We just went over there with nothing."
Despite having "nothing," 19 distribution companies looked at Elvis Week. Of two offers made for the distribution rights, Harkness accepted an offer from 10 Francs, a French company that sells films to television stations around the world. The company purchased the distribution rights for five years.
Elvis Week is currently in the process of being mastered and features the music of Lawrence and area bands.
