This day could change their lives …probably won’t.
Set in one day, against the backdrop of a post-punk music festival, Mike Cuenca’s I’LL BE AROUND follows over one hundred struggling thirty-something musicians as they navigate a variety of issues from missing guitars to premature ejaculation to generation angst.
A remarkably ambitious and expansive film, I’LL BE AROUND is filled with lovingly and colorfully drawn characters; the recognizable freaks, geeks, divas, misfits, hangers-on, dreamers and criminals that make up an indie music scene. I’LL BE AROUND is a portrait of a scene, of thirty-something anxiety and ambition, sprawling yet intimate, quirky yet sincere.
This Rockuary, Spectacle is proud to present the theatrical world premiere of the director’s cut of Mike Cuenca’s I’LL BE AROUND, featuring a Q&A moderated by Emily Pierce with actor Joaquin Dominguez following the February 9th screening.
