Hey everyone. I'm an independent director, and I recently put out an episode of my docuseries focusing on life on the road, featuring Charley.
Because Charley does things his own way, I wanted to capture him the exact same way. No massive camera rigs. No giant crew footprint. Just me, Charley, an iPhone, and the highway stretching from the sweltering Texas heat up into the freezing air of the snowcapped Colorado Rockies.
We had one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever filmed. We talked heavily about his survival and open-heart surgery, grinding through his hardscrabble beginnings, and what it actually means to carry the Davy Crockett bloodline.
It’s a completely unvarnished look at an artist who got a second chance at life and refuses to waste a single mile of it. I figured this community would appreciate seeing him unfiltered.

Let me know what you guys think. I'll be hanging around the comments if anyone has questions about the shoot, the road trip, or the conversations we had off-camera.
