Films that haven’t been widely seen, but that nonetheless can captivate and entertain both music and film lovers alike. These are the hidden gems that somehow passed you by. Prepare to have your soul shaken…in the best way possible!

If you love rock ’n’ roll — especially in its raw, unfiltered form — you’ll be an instant fan of Mike Hosty and love every damn second of Oklahoma Breakdown. This is as real as it gets!

Get ready for a wild night of music and storytelling as the Docs That Rock series brings you Oklahoma Breakdown – The Mike Hosty Story. This documentary digs into the legend of Oklahoma’s one-man-band phenom — a musician so gifted, fans swear by him, yet he’s stayed out of the spotlight by choice.

The film is just the start: after the screening, join director Christopher Fitzpatrick for a live Q&A and experience Mike Hosty himself in an electrifying live performance. If you’ve never seen Hosty in action, now’s your chance to catch a true underground icon in his element — up close and personal.

Description
Study Up

Directed by: Christopher Fitzpatrick

Genre: Documentary

Released: 2022

Runtime: 1h 32m

Mike Hosty is a comedic one-man-band legend in Oklahoma. He doesn’t have a promoter or gimmick to get plays on Spotify. Those who know his talents swear by him. His sound fills up the room of a 4-piece band without relying on drum loops or triggers. There is simply nobody on earth quite like him. His song “Oklahoma Breakdown” was covered by Red Dirt artist Stoney Larue and blew up so much in Texas that it was the top-selling single for all of 2007. This documentary explores why a legend of the underground avoids the limelight when he could be a millionaire.
