Tamara Saviano, who produced the excellent tribute double-CD This One’s For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark (2011), is making her directing debut with a documentary about Texas singer-songwriter Guy Clark. According to the film’s Kickstarter page, Without Getting Killed or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark will trace “the life of music pioneer Guy Clark, who, with his wife Susanna, shaped the contemporary folk and American roots music scene.”

Saviano has spent seven years working on an upcoming definitive biography of Clark too, so her film about his life promises to be an in-depth look at one of the great writers of Texas music in the last century. The documentary includes coverage of Clark’s youth in Monahans, Texas and follows his life as he develops into a legendary singer-songwriter. Below is a promotional video for the film.

Saviano’s Kickstarter campaign for the film is still seeking funds on Kickstarter until May 21, 2015. For more information, check out the Kickstarter page.
