The documentary, about a legal fight for water in the Texas town of Dell City, won big at the Dallas International Film Fest.

Think back on everything you’ve dabbled in since you woke up this morning that involves water. Perhaps you poured yourself a glass of water from the sink or cleaned off a razor for a morning shave. God knows many of us love a nice morning shower. Water appears so commonly in our everyday lives we take it for granted. It's a cornerstone of our daily routines we all expect to be there no matter what.

To figure out the “proper” amount of exposition in the film, Guitar looked back on past documentaries he loved. Recalling titles such as“I wanted to make sure we had that mystery/thriller element as much as possible,” Guitar says. One element that especially grabs viewers' attention is the interview segments with lawyer Brian Sledge, who represents corporations and larger entities running in opposition to Dell City residents such as Lynch. An antagonistic force to many figurespaints as sympathetic, Sledge presents a candid demeanor in his screentime. Recalling his courtroom experiences, he exhibits an amusing devil-may-care attitude contrasting with the emotional urgency of the typical Dell City anecdotes.

“He just had a wonderful, charming personality … I could totally just go to the lake with this guy and drink beers all day,” Mattei says.
