Wild Bill Horsecock

2020 • Directed by

Oliver Shahery

Shahery’s studied, clear-eyed documentary vignette follows Hayes Johnson, a swaggering country-singing busker and DIY porn performer in Nashville, as he moves through the city over several days, navigating personal and professional fallout from multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. The film refrains from passing judgment on its subject, instead regarding Johnson—and the consequences of his actions—with an ethos of quiet, observational interest.
