BIG CITY SLAY

2022

Big City Slay OR The Last Dreamchasing Diva in All of Honky Tonk America OR Sing Me a Song of Perseverance: A Live Taping tells the story of a small town girl who's making an autobiographical movie. She may be country, but she's got that Star Quality. She's ready for the Big City! Or is she? What hurdles will she face? How will she overcome? And will she really make it?

Filmed live on stage on an ever-moving iPhone, all footage will be compiled, edited, spliced, and distorted to create a cinematic masterpiece.
