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 discussion with Director Austin Sayre.
This documentary world premiered at SXSW. 2026, U.S., 89 minutes. Recommended for 13+.
