Mississippi Son
Mississippi Son is an award-winning documentary film that tells the heart wrenching and heartwarming stories of the people, the culture and the future in the wake of hurricane Katrina. Born and raised in Gulfport, Mississippi, L.A. filmmaker Don Wilson was devastated by the incredible losses of his friends and family. In this film, he returns home to talk to those who lived through the hurricane and continue to struggle with life in the aftermath of America's worst natural disaster.
About the Director
Don Wilson has produced, directed, and edited television news, NFL sports broadcasts, hit network sitcoms and comedy shows, major motion picture movie trailers, prime time dramas, HBO and Showtime music and comedy specials, five Olympic games, feature films, award-winning documentaries, high-end corporate videos, and national commercials. He also spent time in the executive ranks as Director of Editorial Services and Graphics at Varitel and EDS Digital Studios, as Executive Producer at Craig Murray Productions, as Vice President of The Selluloid Group, and as Co-Principal of AMI. An accomplished musician, he has also scored several award-winning documentaries. But perhaps most importantly, Don was one of the founding fathers of the music video and literally helped create the MTV style. In fact, Fortune magazine once named him the most important editor in the music video business, he won a Video Music Award, and he was nominated for several MTV Music Video Awards. The list of musical acts with which he has worked is nearly infinite, but some of the biggest acts include Bon Jovi, Sting, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Pearl Jam, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, The Pretenders, and Alanis Morissette. Of course, his awards have not been limited to music videos; his work as an executive producer, director, and editor has earned him film festival honors, two International Monitor Awards, four Telly Awards, and an Emmy. Born and raised in Gulfport, Mississippi, Don was devastated by the losses of his family and friends in Hurricane Katrina. In his current project, Mississippi Son, he returns home to talk to local leaders and his friends in the face of their unbelievable loss. Don directed, edited, wrote, and produced this project with the hope of reminding us all - as the media continues to focus on New Orleans - that the Mississippi coast was completely destroyed by the biggest natural disaster in American history.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
