Music means different things to different people. For some, hearing a specific song or artist at a specific time in their life can change the way they think. Those feelings can stay with you for a long time, too. And when you have a chance to celebrate a milestone\u00a0with said artist, you will do anything to be present.<\/p>\n

Eva Ha\u00dfmann<\/a>, a <\/span>Writer, Director, Producer, Star of the indie film Willie and Me <\/b>wanted to explore that scenario with an artist that has meant so much to her, Willie Nelson. The indie comedy is now available for all to see after taking years to complete. We sat with the multi-hyphenate to discuss bringing this story to life.<\/div>\n

\u00a0Synopsis<\/strong> : In Willie and Me, Greta Weingarten (Eva Ha\u00dfmann) is a housewife who is trapped in a stagnant marriage. One evening while serving dinner to her successful but bland husband, she hears a radio announcement about Willie Nelson’s farewell concert. Through his music, she is transported back to her disjointed childhood. Greta is suddenly overwhelmed by the need to see Willie Nelson and will do whatever it takes to be at his last concert in Las Vegas. She takes off on her journey, leaving behind the husband and comfortable life she knows. With everything against her, but so much ahead, she realizes that the return ticket becomes her heaviest piece of luggage.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n
