Slouching Towards Branson

Michael, a washed-up rock musician, finds his only financial lifeline is performing on a country music stage in Branson. His ever-optimistic agent, Sarah, convinces him it's a chance for a clean slate. But accustomed to loud guitar riffs and a rebellious image, Michael is thrust into a world of sequined suits, syrupy ballads, and a rigid schedule. The 2025 music comedy explores the clash of ambition and reality, forcing the protagonist to question what matters more: preserving his identity or simply surviving. Along the way, he encounters eccentric colleagues, a cynical producer, and a fan who remembers his old hits. The film walks the line between irony and heart, suggesting that sometimes the most unexpected detour can lead to a new tune.
