Hobo Film Festival is on tour

I always wanted to hop on a train and see the country in the true hobo way but I never did. I would love to see the film from Shawn Lukitsch and to see what he has to offer. I hope someone makes it to one of his showings and gives me a full review of the film.

For nearly as long as rail lines have crisscrossed the country, there have been stories about wanderers covertly climbing aboard train cars and riding away from problems or speeding toward some glimmering promise on the horizon.

The paths of train hoppers, tramps, hobos and travelers, looking for work, adventure or merely free transportation, have been recorded in lyrics and in literature. Jack Kerouac, Jack London and John Steinbeck have written about them. They have populated the songs of Merle Haggard
and Woody Guthrie.

More recently, filmmakers have documented the experience of riding the rails across the country’s varied terrain. And some of those works were recently screened in a storefront community center in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, as part of a traveling cinematic exhibition called the Hobo Film Festival, which is progressing from state to state by way of a $200 Toyota station wagon driven by a 31-year-old train hopper from Asheville, N.C., named Shawn Lukitsch.

Read the entire story in the New York Times.

Here are some hobo markings and what they mean

Steve Vai plays the part of Hank Williams in "Crazy," a film about Hank Garland


Steve Vai as Hank Williams

Ray Scherr and Steve Vai are executive producers of a movie about guitar legend Hank Garland and Vai is also playing the part of Hank Williams. He looks great but I would never thought of him playing that part.

Read much more about the movie, Hank Williams and Hank Garland, at the HERE.


Mandy Barnett, Waylon Payne and Ali Larter also star in this movie.
