In his experimental short Those People of the South, Ashley Christopher Leach examines his southern upbringing through crude audio recordings and 16mm, Super 8 mm, and iPhone images. Part One: Whatever Happened to Millie Lammoreaux unearths the tragedy of failed ideals of southern femininity. Part Two: Daddy A Cinematic Experiment pays homage to Leach's eccentric father. Part Three: Ezekiel ties together the South's painful relationship between racism and religion. As a whole the experimental short contextualizes the complexities of one artist's southern identity.
