Hundreds of Tulsans attended the local premiere of “The Lowdown” at Philbrook Museum of Art Sept. 22 ahead of the first two episodes airing on FX.
The noir, created by local filmmaker Sterlin Harjo and filmed in Tulsa, stars Ethan Hawke as citizen journalist Lee Raybon, a self-proclaimed Tulsa “truthstorian” whose obsession with the truth is always getting him into trouble.
