ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Deemed by the Hollywood Reporter as "An extremely engaging film... An unconventional and sharply written script which subverts all the cliches of the star-is-born story," THE INDEPENDENTS made its debut at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and took home the Jury Prize for Best Feature Film at the Omaha Film Festival. From Director/Writer Greg Naughton, this musical dramedy follows three struggling solo-artists whose chance meeting rekindles each of their fading dreams of making it in the music business. Now if they can just stay in tune... Starring real-life bandmates of indie folk-trio The Sweet Remains, with over 45 million Spotify plays, and Richard Kind as their manager. Also starring Boyd Gaines, James Naughton, Kelli O'Hara, Chris Sullivan and George Wendt.
