A native of Midland, Texas, Porter Farrell has lived in Fort Worth, Texas since 1995. He graduated from Episcopal High School in Virginia, then earned two undergraduate degrees from UT-Austin before moving to Houston to get in the oil business.
Farrell is a lifelong writer and decided when he was turning 60 to become a filmmaker for the remaining third of his life. His first project, "Windsor", starred Barry Corbin and won Best Feature in its first film festival. More accolades followed and the film was then picked up by Sony for worldwide distribution. He is in various stages on other projects: "Hate Crimes," a gritty urban thriller; "When Cowboys Die," the story of a cowboy born 100 years too late who refuses to accept his misplacement in the 20th century; and "The Press," a gripping story of a small town in South Texas caught in a battle between a drug cartel and the DEA.
Other projects include "The Big Drift," about the blizzard of 1884-85 that nearly wiped out the cattle industry, and "De Profundis," about the relationship between a Midland oilman and his family and, as the oilman approaches his death, the friendship he develops with a refugee from Southeast Asia who becomes his gardener.- Soundtrack

Currently (2017) in his late 80's and an active performer and teacher, Lee Sexton is a living link to the deep past of American music. His musical sensibility and technique span several centuries without invoking nostalgia, and can be heard on multiple releases on Smithsonian/Folkways recordings. He learned to play banjo directly from family members Morgan Sexton and Roscoe Holcomb, themselves legends of old-time, pre-bluegrass music. His repertoire is eclectic and diverse: traditional songs traceable to the British Isles, songs particular to Appalachia, Tin Pan Alley and honky-tonk standards, and much of the bluegrass canon.
Lee developed and retains a distinctive banjo style that is unique in our time, shaped by a potent combination of deep musical roots, placement in time, and a series of work-related right hand injuries. Powered by only thumb and index finger, Lee Sexton's sound is as punctuated, proprietary, and aggressive as any to be found in traditional music. In the mid-20th century, with the proliferation of electronic media and the advent of 3-finger bluegrass styles, Lee's generation of musicians almost entirely abandoned the older music for a more codified and commercially viable sound. Physical limitations (a crushed finger from the coal mines and a raccoon bite on his thumb from the farm) forced Lee to adapt, playing the newer, faster music through simpler and more direct means.
Lee was recorded in 1959 for the landmark Smithsonian/Folkways release Mountain Music of Kentucky. He was a featured performer at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington D.C. and is a recipient of the Kentucky Governor's Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. His music is also included on the recent Smithsonian/Folkways compilation Classic Banjo (2013). Although well-known and revered in the region and within banjo circles, Lee has largely existed outside of the commercial music business. He appeared briefly in the film Coal Miner's Daughter (1980), playing banjo during the square dance scene; he has performed at the local Carcassonne Square Dance for well over 40 years.
Linefork presents audiences with an experience of how the conditions of life and the particularities of place inform (and are reflected in) Lee's music. Though now challenged by significant hearing loss and arthritis, Lee remains a vital and singular stylist, the last of his generation of eastern Kentucky banjo players. Linefork brings Mr. Sexton to a more proper place in the wider discourse of Appalachian culture and its significance to American musical heritage.- Additional Crew
