“The Incoherents is a film about life choices as much as it is about music and
musicians. It uses a fictitious band from the particularly fertile NYC music scene of the
mid-90s as an excellent example. We all know it ain’t easy to have a successful band, no
matter how easy it looks from the audience. The odds of making it are slim at best. And
the odds of coming back after years of dormancy are even slimmer. Way slimmer. Why
go through the struggle? The answer of course is: the love of the music. The passion.
Regardless of your calling, it’s all about the passion. Ultimately, that’s the message of
the film for me.
I really loved the script because all of
the characters are multidimensional and
real. You get to know them early on in the
film, and you stick with them. You can
feel their struggles and conflicts, and
you want them to succeed. The fact that
this is all done with so much humor and
great songs is icing on the cake!”
