Overview
2026 Flyover Film Festival
The Man with the Big Hat Screening + Q&A
Directed by Austin Sayre
An unsung pioneer of 1970s Texas Progressive Country, Steven Fromholz had a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Revered by legends like Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett & John Denver, he remained commercially unknown. He sought redemption on the Rio Grande as a river guide until a debilitating stroke erased his musical memory, stripping Fromholz of his artistic identity.
This intimate and impressionistic portrayal, bolstered by newly discovered archives as well as never-before-heard recordings, unveils the evolution of Fromholz, and reshapes the notion of success and artistic fortitude.
Includes post-screening Q&A with Director Austin Sayre, Executive Producer Brian Easley, and Producer Stephanie Moore, moderated by WFPK Program Director Kyle Meredith.
This documentary world premiered at SXSW. 2026, U.S., 89 minutes. Recommended for 13+.
