"Only The Strong Survive" - Tape to Tape for Film Finish
     CHRIS HEGEDUS/D.A. PENNEBAKER


Stax Records launched the careers of Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Carla & Rufus Thomas, and Booker T. & The MGs back in the 1960s and 70s. But then disco hit big and all but wiped soul music off the map. This documentary harkens back to the golden era of soul and catches up with the carriers of the Stax dynasty, including Wilson Pickett, Sam Moore, Mary Wilson, Isaac Hayes, and The Chi Lites.

Challenging correction to attain continuity in this multi-source media. The archival footage was optimized, while the run & gun style of the documentary footage was smoothed out.
