Outta the Muck

Institute History

Description

Family, football, and history come to life in an intimate portrait of the Dean family, longtime residents of the historic town of Pahokee, Florida. As we journey home to the land of sugar cane with filmmaker Ira McKinley, he reconnects with his niece Bridget and nephew Alvin and explores their shared family history, which spans seven generations. Told through stories that transcend space and time, Outta the Muck presents an intimate portrait of a community that revisits despair with love, remaining fiercely self-determined while forging its own unique narrative of Black achievement.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
