When Elizabeth Cook first emerged on the country music scene, she was plucked up by the Nashville establishment, briefly paraded around as the latest sweet young thing, and quickly cast aside when she refused to fit neatly into a marketable box. In THE EASY KIND, Cook plays a fictionalized version of herself named EC: a renegade singer/songwriter steadfast in her own skin while navigating the personal and professional complexities of midlife. She's breaking new ground musically--even if the powers that be still can't see how to monetize her magnetic, hard-scrabble talent. As she frees herself from the trappings that have held her back--money troubles, family tragedies, and ex-lovers--she forges a path for herself to be able to make music on her own terms. This genre-bending debut narrative feature from acclaimed veteran filmmaker Katy Chevigny is a captivating look at an artist that's as vulnerable and soulful as she is irrefutably ballsy.
