I wish the film had more of one.

@LarsenOnFilm I recommend The Remantlists 2024 release Not Arthur - a riff of sorts on the classic album Arthur by The Kinks. (Keeps the song titles but creates a new story). If 2021 is recent enough the soundtrack for the Ride the Cyclone musical (as well as the musical itself) is awesome.
We're screening GHOSTLIGHT Sept. 11th & 12th at the Carolina Theater in downtown Hickory. The film tells the story of a construction worker who unexpectedly joins a local theater's production of Romeo & Juliet. Admission is free for members, $5 for guests. Come join us!
Aaaand that’s a wrap on Wake Up Dead Man. Went so fast! Best crew, incredible cast, this was a really special shoot and I cannot wait to put it together.
