In recent years, there’s been
something of a new genre of
‘Peter Pan’ type films revolving
around middle aged men trying to
relive their golden days as rockers.
What makes this one a bit different
is that it revolves around the indie
rock world of New York and New
Jersey. It includes actual clubs
and musicians from the area and
provides a hard look as to whether
fairytales can actually come true.
Bruce Flansburgh is a bored,
40-something paralegal who slogs
through an increasingly unbearable
day to day existence. When
he sees bands like The Pixies,
Soundgarden, and other indie rock
bands from the 90s reunite he gets
the urge to bring back The Incoherents.
Unfortunately, he chose
stability over fame and disbanded
the group at the height of their
success. And now he has to convince
his bandmates that he’s willing
to go the distance this time.
The film, written and starring
New Jersey native Jeff Auer, was
acquired by Gravitas Ventures and
released on Video on Demand
