A dreamlike work of creative non-fiction, Song of Sunset dissolves the boundaries of time and place, weaving emotion and memory into a visually poetic collage. Set beneath a single golden-hour sky, a downtown tavern open mic, a taphouse, and a local music club all share the same moment — different venues, one spirit.

At its heart are real musicians — solo performers who grace open mics, neighborhood pubs, and small clubs — offering their songs not to the present, but to someone listening a hundred years from now. Told in the past tense, their voices become artifacts of a living musical culture that dares to endure.

Blending cinematic visuals with reflective narration, the film paints a nostalgic yet forward-looking portrait of community-centered live music. Bathed in the amber light of sunset, Song of Sunset doesn’t just capture where we were — it captures how it felt to be there.
