Abstract
Big Clown is a short documentary film about a punk band that resides in Mississippi and Memphis, TN. With the majority of the band members originally from Mississippi (and one from Jonesboro, Arkansas, or the Mississippi Delta), they illustrate the importance of creating weird art in a conservative South that often strives to stifle creativity. They explain that there is not a market for punk music in Mississippi, and that it is crucial now more than ever to continue making music for the people who enjoy bizarre art. This film not only shows the inner workings of a punk band, but it also shows the interpersonal relationships that they have with each other that makes Big Clown special.
Originally from California, Christina Alison Huff graduated from the University of Mississippi with a dual bachelors degree in Art and Southern Studies in 2017. In 2021, she received her master’s degree in Southern Studies, and will be receiving her MFA degree in Documentary Expression at the University of Mississippi 2022.
