Fanning the Fire is a vibrant documentary short that features a young Texas teen who followed his dreams from being a fan of bluegrass music all the way to opening for some of the greatest entertainers in the business - in less than three years. Along the way, the documentary explores why people young and old get hooked on playing this music and enjoying companionship at festivals around the world. Viewers enjoy behind-the-scenes visits with master musicians from across the USA and Europe who explain how they came to appreciate this uniquely American form of music and why it has broad appeal to beginning players and professionals alike. Fanning the Fire is a fast-moving look at where bluegrass music has been and where it's going.
