Event Information
About this Event
Join us for a special preview screening of THE INDEPENDENTS, starring The Sweet Remains (including Phoenix's-own Brian Chartrand, along with Rich Price & Greg Naughton). Inspired by the real-life story of The Sweet Remains, THE INDEPENDENTS is a musical comedy/drama about three solo-artists who collide at the same crossroads and discover harmony. What follows is their roller-coaster-ride journey across America for a one last shot at musical glory. The film was just acquired for worldwide distribution by Blackbox Global following a lauded festival run in 2018. The filmmakers present this special Phoenix screening prior to The Sweet Remains shows that evening at the MIM to celebrate with their AZ fans-- and AZ contributors to the film. Running time 1hr37mins. Open to the public-- All ages (parental warning: no sex/ no violence/ lots of cursing)/Q&A with band & filmmakers to follow.
AN EXTREMELY ENGAGING FILM. SUBVERTS ALL THE CLICHES OF THE STAR-IS-BORN STORY. -The Hollywood Reporter
A CHARMINGLY HIP NEW COMEDY-DRAMA-MUSICAL. Anyone who’s ever been in a band will find things that ring hilariously and sometimes painfully true in “The Independents.” -The Marin Independent Journal
AN ENDEARING TALE THAT WORKS EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD A SINGLE RECORDING BY THE SWEET REMAINS. One reason is the affection and shared dream between the three main characters. There's humor, but also genuine emotional resonance. -AZCentral (USA Today)
