In 2013, cult indie filmmakers and brothers Todd and Brad Barnes set out to shoot a documentary about the burgeoning East Nashville singer-songwriter scene, but weed, whiskey, and musician Todd Snider took over and the result is a hilarious alternative-universe Opryland. Showcasing a host of local stalwarts, beloved hippie bard Snider and his buddies smoke, joke, bang out bent ballads, and somehow put on a shambolic tryout talk show for the East Nashville chanteuse and David Letterman favorite Elizabeth Cook. Another pair of movie siblings, Jay and Mark Duplass, declare that the Barnes Brothers "have revealed a side of Nashville you definitely won't see on CMT."
