Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt 2005

In the heart of Austin's outlaw country scene, Townes van Zandt shone bright amidst a constellation of stars. Despite peers like Waylon Jennings and Steve Earle achieving mainstream success, Van Zandt's tumultuous life, marked by addiction and mental illness, was a tragic tale of artistic brilliance unfulfilled. This poignant documentary weaves a compelling narrative of his music, legacy, and untimely passing at 52.
