The Blue Like Jazz Movie – Steve Taylor on SBE

Erik Guzman April 20th, 2012

When Steve Brown is away, Etcetera will play, and this week Steve Taylor jumped into our sandbox to talk about his new movie Blue Like Jazz.

(If you're on the front page of the site, click "Read More" to see audio player options.)

The story of turning Donald Miller's wildly successful spiritual memoir, Blue Like Jazz, into a movie could make a movie of its own. From screenplay to flabbergasting fundraising problems to a record-breaking fan-led Kickstarter campaign to blow back from Christian filmmakers, Steve Taylor has been on a six-year-long roller coaster ride. Join us as he talks about directing Blue Like Jazz and see the fruits of his labor this weekend in a theater near you.

Go to BlueLikeJazzTheMovie.com for theaters, the trailer and more.

In addition to directing Blue Like Jazz, Steve Taylor is a singer, songwriter and producer. He was twice nominated for a Grammy and is the only artist to win two Billboard Music Video Awards for his self-directed music videos. And that, my friends, is pretty stinkin' cool.
