At 7:30pm on Saturday July 12th, Filmmakers Allison Anders and Kurt Voss will be in attendance for a Q&A following this
one night only screening!
An aspiring rocker loses his band and his girl but gains the friendship of his idol in this sweet and humanistic comedy that completes the Southern California musicians trilogy from longtime collaborators Allison Anders and Kurt Voss. The first film in the series, Border Radio (1987), is part of the Criterion Collection and published on DVD by Janus Films; the second, Sugar Town (1999), was the “centerpiece premiere” at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.
Since Border Radio Allison and Kurt have together or separately written and directed 20 films and various other writing and directing gigs including hit TV shows like Sex and the City, The L Word and Orange Is The New Black. They have between them directed everyone from Terrance Stamp and Salma Hayek to Ice-T and Madonna. They also co-wrote the screenplay for the Peabody Award winning film Things Behind The Sun which Anders directed.
Featuring a score by Dinosaur Jr. front-man J. Mascis and catchy pop from several great local bands, this Kickstarter funded love letter to the Southern California music scene is not to be missed!
