Manuel

Manuel has crafted shining outfits for Elvis, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and continues to dress the stars of country and rock and roll music to this day. His rhinestone-studded wears still crowd his Nashville shop, and even at 83, Manuel continues to wine and dine late into the Music City nights with his friends. But Manuel still struggles with his legacy, how he'll be remembered and how his business can evolve in the face of technology shifts. This documentary profiles a conflicted artist, whose dedication to his craft shows the spoils of his prolific work, but also the damage it can leave in its wake. Featuring intimate footage with country music stars like Loretta Lynn and Marty Stuart, the film dives deep into Manuel's life and career. All the while, Manuel's undying optimism and love for life shines through, creating an inspiring portrait of a man obsessed with his craft and living life to its fullest. (Nashville Film Festival)
