OPENING NIGHT- WORLDFEST PREMIERE
Synopsis:
BLAZE is inspired by the life of Blaze Foley, the unsung
songwriting legend of the Texas outlaw music movement
that spawned the likes of Merle Haggard and
Willie Nelson. The film weaves together three different
periods of time, braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze’s
past, present and future. The different strands explore
his love affair with Sybil Rosen; his last, dark night on
earth; and the impact his songs and death had on his
fans, friends, and foes. The braided storyline terminates
in a bittersweet ending that acknowledges Blaze’s profound
highs and lows, as well as the impressions he
made on the people who shared his journey.
