In This World, I Am King
One man, five personas. An aging artist wrestles with the weight of his legacy and the fractured identities he’s created to survive. As he confronts his art, his past, and the trauma he's long ignored, a deeper question emerges: What does it truly mean to be an artist? From the small town of Pauls Valley, OK — where he’s a local legend — he grapples with being both revered and isolated. There, he is king, but at what cost?
Randy Crouch:
Survival of the Fiddlist
A documentary film about the "original psychedelic grunge hillbilly fiddle player from outer space" takes us on a unique journey into the life and legacy of an enigmatic musician from Oklahoma, blending genres, countercultures, and timeless themes of rebellion, freedom, and community.
The film explores how this one man's eccentric, genre-defying music became a cultural force—mixing elements of psychedelic rock, grunge, and old-school Appalachian fiddle—while also diving into the unconventional lifestyle that shaped him.
But it’s not just about music; it's about creating a sense of belonging and a shared collective spirit, drawing on the deep traditions of Americana, yet questioning societal norms and values.
See community activism succeed, a new genre of music born and the connections that bind us.
This combination of music, activism, and communal consciousness provides a compelling backdrop for a film that celebrates individuality, collective action, and the powerful force of art in shaping both our personal lives and broader social movements.
It paints a picture of a world where creativity can be a catalyst for connection, healing, and change—one groove, one song, and one person at a time. What a groovy idea indeed.
