UPDATE: Yo-Yo Ma Applauds Morgan Neville's Oscar Nomination for 'The Sound of Silk' Doc

Morgan Neville's latest documentary film may actually be closer to star quality than Classicalite first reported--what with the news of its 2014 Oscar nomination.

For world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, this is music to his ears, as the cellist has continually applauded the film-makers' success.

As we told you, Yo-Yo Ma is currently deeply involved with Neville's newest endeavor, The Sound of Silk--a documentary that centers on the organization of the Silk Road Project and its mission to curate and host musicians from around the world.

"What I love most about 20 Feet from Stardom is how deeply Morgan Neville examined the preconditions of creativity. He showed us how the giants stand on the shoulders of the artists whose stories he told," Ma said in a recent interview.

The SRP was founded in 1998, under Ma's auspices, ultimately collecting aural artifacts from more than 20 countries.

Neville's bringing the Silk Road Project to light will be a welcome addition to his burgeoning canon.
