Doing the legwork on The Man with the Big Hat. We don't know any film programmers, so are reaching out to directors & folks who've recently played at these more prominent festivals. Also, trying to find big names or producers with a good doc track record who want to attach themselves to a project.

Dido and Rollo Armstrong collaborated on several projects

Agreed, we're looking at several follow-ups. B.W. Stevenson, Terry Allen, etc.

The Shawn Phillips documentary series is six hours long. 6 episodes roughly an hour each, detailing basically a little over a decade in his 60+ year musical career.

Phillips will probably go straight to streaming next year, I'm excited about that one too! Only took us a decade to finish, hahaha, it's great. We even screened it for Shawn in a Louisville theater, filmed his reactions, then added that back into the docuseries.

And then we plan to release all of his albums online.

Rumor is, we even have a secret, unheard Fromholz album..........

We hope to premiere at SXSW in March, then it will be streaming afterward. Took us 5 years to make. Interviews with Lyle Lovett, Terry Lickona, Butch Hancock, Ray Benson, Darcie and Felicity Fromholz, etc. Archival footage of Willie Nelson, John Denver, Stephen Stills, etc.

85 minutes of Fromholz.

We then had a short discussion about caffeine.

As I loaded the dishwasher this morning, my 7 year old son asked, "Dad, does coffee really make everything possible?"

Feeling he was now possibly the wisest of my 3 children, I turned to say yes, then realized he was reading the side of my Thorntons coffee cup from when I grabbed donuts earlier.

Them: Is there something in the guitar case?

Me: Yeah.

Them: What?

Me: My guitar.
