Coyote Funeral
EL PASO 857 When Casey Cannon sees that tall green Texas road sign, he takes it as a challenge and sets out on foot to traverse the giant state from border to border. Casey walks to block out the pain of discovering his mother's affair and to find a way to tell his brother the truth. Dustin Cannon can only drop his head and follow: his younger brother needs looking out for. Casey (Jono Young) embodies the spitfire image of the original Texan frontier settlers. Rash, raw, and reckless, he makes the ladies love him despite knowing better and never backs down from a fight, even one he’s sure to lose. Whereas Casey shoots from the hip, Dustin (Zach Freeman) is nothing but a straight-shooter. The brothers take on every bull ride, barbecue, and barfight along the way. They also make a stop at Gruene hall, one of Texas's most storied dance halls, where Casey plays on stage to reinforce a stellar soundtrack infused with numerous Americana Music stalwarts such as Robert Earl Keen, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Charlie Robison (host, Nashville Star). Shot along the highways and back roads of Texas, Coyote Funeral makes Texas as much a character as the setting. Whether Casey and Dustin make it to El Paso depends less on them braving the elements than surviving each other. |
