Last fall the Amazon anthology series “Small Axe” blurred the lines between cinema and television. Consisting of five films that explore the West Indian immigrant community in the UK, it was a favorite of both film and TV critics. But will it be favored by the Emmys? Scroll down and follow the links to watch four in-depth interviews with below-the-line artists from the ambitious project.
“Small Axe” was directed and co-written by Steve McQueen, who became the first (and still only) Black producer to win a Best Picture Oscar when his film “12 Years a Slave” won top honors for 2013. He’s also known for the acclaimed films “Hunger,” “Shame,” and “Widows,” and film journalists were so impressed by his five-film achievement that the Los Angeles Film Critics Association made the unusual choice of awarding it Best Picture.

It is often hard enough to conjure the right mood for one installment of an anthology series, but what if your task is five times that? Music supervisor Ed Bailie was tasked by Academy Award-nominated director Steve McQueen to do just that for “Small Axe,” a quintet of period-specific films about Black life in England ranging from the 1960s to the 1980s, touching on social topics from police brutality to the failings of the education system to a raging house party’s effect on young lives. “We used about 80 or 90 songs in the course of ‘Small Axe,'” says Bailie, “and each film had different music illustrated in the scripts, so every part carved their own identities throughout”.
For “Mangrove,” the lengthiest and arguably most-charged entry that opens “Axe,” Bailie took his cue from the Trinidadian-settled Notting Hill of the late 1960s — far removed from the gentrified neighborhood seen years...

For music supervisor Ed Bailie, working on Steve McQueen‘s five-part anthology “Small Axe” was “the equivalent of working on five features.” Instead of a single overarching narrative in a film or a TV series, this presented the challenge of “individual tales, each with their own musical identity rooted within an overarching concept that Steve was getting across.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Bailie above.
The five films tell different stories, but all of them explore the experiences of West Indian immigrants living in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s, from the true story of Black protestors railroaded by the police and the justice system in “Mangrove” to a fictional account of a joyous house party in “Lovers Rock.” A lot of the music had already “been written into the script,” Bailie says, which “for us as music supervisors — for myself and my colleague Abi Leland — was a...
