This initial film offering by G. Brian Benson tells of a street musician who plays for quarters and dollar bills in the cold winter streets of Reno, Nevada. He has people pretty well figured out, but that doesn't make him a rich man. Or does it?
Everyone on the street has a story. Benjamin is a disabled war vet. Probably Vietnam. Cowboy spent his early life building the superhighways we drive on to get to Reno. Raised a family, has children and grandchildren. John is a comedian. It wasn't a straightforward path. The Guitar Man? We don't know where he came from, but we do know he wants that shiny dobro in the window.
Guitar Man is nine minutes of warmth and inspiration. It's a small movie with a big point.
