YOUR DAILY GUIDE TO THE 2010 TACOMA FILM FESTIVAL >>>
"His name is Chris Sand. He grew up in Ronan, Montana on the Flathead Reservation. He now lives in a house in Dunn Center that he bought for $1,000. He's a truck driver when he has work, which he currently does not. He has a bulging disc in his back from a lifetime on the farm. He's also one of the most original and inventive musicians anywhere. He's a cowboy who raps." Weekly Volcano scribe Mark Thomas Deming wrote this paragraph as part of an interview he did with Chris "Sandman" Sands in 2009.
Filmmaker Elizabeth Lawrence grabbed a camera and documented the life of this rapper who looks like Woody Guthrie but sings like Dr. Dre. The resulting film, Roll Out, Cowboy, screens tonight at 8:15 p.m. inside The Grand Cinema as part of the 2010 Tacoma Film Festival.
