SXSW XVII: Saturday Night and For the Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair

Judicious trimming could tighten the focus and maximize the audience potential of For the Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair, a labor-of-love tribute to Houston's improbably enduring venue for folk and acoustic musicians. You read my Variety review here.
