Filmmaker Brian Gersten writes, "'The Hollerin' Contest at Spivey's
Corner' is a documentary short about the history, characters, and sounds
of the National Hollerin' Contest.
Hollerin' itself is considered by
some to be the earliest form of communication between humans, and the
competition has been held annually in the small town of Spivey's Corner,
NC since 1969. The film follows the stories of three former champions
as they attempt to reclaim their titles, and keep the oft-forgotten
tradition of hollerin' alive."
"This past summer it was announced that the hollerin' contest would be
ending after 47 years. Former hollerin' champions Robby Goodman and Iris
Turner have decided to carry on the tradition and launch their own
'World Wide Hollerin' Festival.'
To honor the tradition of hollerin' and
to celebrate the inaugural Hollerin' Festival, we've decided to release
our documentary on vimeo."
