Elwhy Jones is the great, great, grandson of John Wesley Caudill, born in 1847 at Floyd Kentucky, and known as “a Pioneer of the Appalachian Highlands” (geographically known as the Cumberland Plateau Region). He worked several years with the Center for Lesbian And Gay Studies organizing an annual conference called Queer CUNY. It was through such experience Elwhy learned the importance of honoring those who came before him and the work they did. Prior work by Elwhy includes "Tom and The Fanatics," a jukebox musical which was workshopped in Buckinghamshire UK. His upcoming film manuscript “Proliferations,” is a refreshing comedy where modern technology and family intersect.
