PICKIN' AND TRIMMIN' -- Matt Morris, dir

Miller Auditorium
FROZEN RIVER FILM FESTIVAL
23 minutes

A short documentary about a small town barbershop where the back room serves as an oasis of bluegrass jamming, open to any and all.

#####

I really enjoyed hearing the great bluegrass sounds, but there was not enough of a story here for me. Even a documentary needs a focus, and this didn't have one. Or it tried too hard to have two (small town barbershop trying to make it and bluegrass jamming is going strong).

I'd watch it again, but mostly for the music.
