Up this morning before the sun
Fixed me some coffee and a honey bun
Jumped in the pickup, gave her the gas
I'm goin' out to catch a @sxsw.com pass

This film is the story of the soul of a man told on film, dripping with honesty & emotion. Steve is there - you can see his spirit in every frame. I’ve spent my life trying to capture this kind of feeling on tape, & here it is - laid out in a beautiful saga of The Man with the Big Hat.

Funny to think that of all the places in the world the film could premiere, it will be at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema South Lamar, just a few blocks from my grandmother's former home on Bouldin Avenue. Will be a full circle moment, for sure. Gonna have to hit up Maudie's beforehand for some queso.
Will do my best to represent my adopted hometown of Louisville and the state of Kentucky, as well as Wounded Warrior Project and the disabled veteran community. Will also be refreshing to visit my original home state of Texas when it isn't 400 degrees outside.
@tracesoftexas.bsky.social - the Steven Fromholz documentary will have its world premiere at SXSW!
A month from now, I'll be heading down to Austin, Texas for @sxsw.com and the world premiere of our documentary film about Steven Fromholz, The Man with the Big Hat.
Good times.

Today, Jan 30th, we are calling for a General Strike to demand ICE withdraw from U.S. cities - exactly the kind of non-violent, non-cooperation this moment requires.
