The FEATURE FILM
The story belongs to a father, son, and a best friend, and is interwoven with tragedy, redemption, and nostalgic Texana. Life in small town Texas is rarely told more honestly.
TINY, TEXAS mixes hints of HOOSIERS and THE HOLDOVERS with BILLY ELLIOT and MOONLIGHT into a timeless story of fathers and sons.
