Directing

Morgan Jon Fox

Born 1979-06-19 · Memphis, Tennessee, USA

A film school drop out who has gained his kicks amongst the rough and edgy stylings of the Memphis film scene, which has produced filmmakers like Craig Brewer, Ira Sachs, and John Michael McCarthy. Fox's Film Company, Sawed-Off Collaboratory is made of a group of very diverse filmmakers centered around the Memphis Digital Arts Co-operative. His first film, Blue Citrus Hearts, awarded "best feature film" at the Chicago Lesbian and Gay Film Fest, is a semi-autobiographical, un-glossed look at coming out in the south.
