Okay, Mr. Ray!

About This Movie

Okay, Mr. Ray! is this intriguing documentary that captures the essence of Ray Lum, a real character in the auction world. Ashley Melzer's direction brings a very laid-back vibe as we follow Bill Ferris, who revisits Mississippi decades later with a camera in hand. The pacing is relaxed, allowing us to soak in Ray's charm and the quirky moments of life around him. It’s an exploration of storytelling—Ray is a master at it, spinning tales that draw you in, even if you’re just a stranger on the street. The practical effects are minimal, but the authenticity of the people and the environment shines through. There's this warm nostalgia woven throughout that makes you feel like you’re peeking into a world not often seen.
