Director Statement

I came across Frequency magazine in the late 90’s early 2000’s and discovered an organic network of people, musicians, promoters and the like all functioning out in the locals of Norfolk, Virginia. This was before social media and smart phones. The magazine catered to artist and celebrity interviews however what was most interesting was it seemed as though the folks surrounding the magazine began to create their own social networks, events and functions in such an exclusive way. It appeared very much like a secret society bent on upholding good music and good vibes.

The magazine ended it’s run in the mid-late 2000’s and as with all things life moved on. One day while I had the good fortune of catching up with Rob Murns (co-creator of Frequency magazine), he told me he had taped all of those old interviews. I drove out to VA and we discussed how far Pharrell and Pusha T came, Jean Grae and other old friends, but mainly we questioned the new music being played today.

The excitement of looking through all of that great footage as well as the conversation about curating the culture is how this film came about. By now we both have children and we understand the concept of reaching / teaching them through ‘inventive means’. All in all, VerseAtility III: Rewind represents the purist side of the culture, a curation of sorts and a moment to look back at where we came from in order to better understand where we’re going.
