Heart Warming and Pure

What an enjoyable film to learn of an American culture that is so important to so many people. From the stories, to the music and gorgeous scenery the film will not disappoint. Learning of the history of a musical culture and its modern day challenges faced by this small town that does such big things to maintain its strong traditions with minimal resources is not only heart warming and eye opening but super educational. SO glad I took the time to see this amazing piece of work by 2 sisters new to movie making...it's Oscar worthy!

Makes me proud!

Fiddlin' is a beautifully done tribute to the musical heritage of America and, more specifically, my hometown. It's authentic and paints an accurate picture of life in that neck of the woods. Proud to see friends and acquaintances featured in such a meaningful way, and to see them making a difference in the lives of the young people who are learning and keeping the oldtime and bluegrass music tradition alive. The talent showcased here is amazing!I moved away years ago, but this film brings it all back.Thanks to Julie and Vicki - and everyone else involved!
