“Walking in their Footsteps”
“Walking in their Footsteps”“The Filmmaker’s Bash” is the signature fundraising event for NMHS Unlimited Film Productions, a Mississippi-based 501(c)3 film company. Briefly interrupted by COVID, for eight years the ever-popular “Filmmaker’s Bash” showcased the talents of some of Mississippi’s finest up and coming chefs who competed for the coveted “Top Chef” Award. Previous participants included Nick Wallace, Nick Wallace Culinary; Rashanna Newsome, The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen; Kendrick Gordon, One Guy Steak & Chicken; Grant Nooe, Grant’s Kitchen; Mike Roemhild, Table 100; Damian Shelby, King Edward; Jeremy Enfinger, County Seat, and Marilyn Kithuka, Gumbo Girl. With the “Filmmaker’s Bash” as their launching pad, many have gone on to achieve national prominence.
2025 will be the tenth year for the Filmmaker’s Bash, and we plan to celebrate! In addition to the Top Chefs competition, accompanied by the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, guests will be treated to the re-make of “Walking in their Footsteps”, a history-making play celebrating the contributions of 5 women whose efforts changed not only Mississippi, but the world. We are also adding two invitations only events, “Conversations with The Chefs”, and the “After-play Chefs Dessert Competition”.
All chefs competitions are invitation only events for chefs whose clientele have recommended them. Two awards will be presented: “Top Bash Chef” and “People’s Choice Award”. The Bash will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at the Two Mississippi Museums.
NMHS Unlimited Film Productions, a Mississippi-based 501(c)3 company, specializes in celebrating untold stories about Mississippi history. Proceeds from this event support NMHS Unlimited Film Productions’ efforts to document Mississippi history, mentor young filmmakers and support the development of educational products and services for use in various public and private institutions throughout the country.
Looking forward to the possibilities!
