Description

IndieScene presents this film as part of our Screening Series to support the 2020 SXSW films & filmmakers canceled due to the pandemic. The Film: Teenage Badass tells the story of the rise of a fictional indie rock band named Stylo and the Murder Dogs. Set in 2006, we follow Brad (Mcabe Gregg), a teenage drummer who dreams of making it big in a rock band. Brad and his single-mother Rae (Julie Ann Emery) struggle to get by as Brad refuses to give up. On a fluke, Brad joins a new band fronted by singer/songwriter Kirk Stylo. They land a shot to play on a local news show. With the town buzzing from their performance, Brad's dreams inch closer when they're asked to record with Jordan (Kevin Corrigan), a legendary local producer. Just as everything seems to be falling into place, a series of chaotic events threaten everything. ** Q&A featuring director Grant McCord and writer/producer Matthew D. Dho! @Teenage_Badass #ScreeningSeries2021 "...the film falls into a rhythm, a pleasantly DIY, early-Kevin-Smith vibe that’s sustained..." - Film Threat "... If you’ve ever been in a band or ever dreamed of becoming a famous musician with your buddies by your side, you’ll find an original screenplay that’s filled with authenticity, humor, and pitch-perfect accuracy. " - Screen Zealots "Teenage Badass is a charming, lo-fi rock n’ roll underdog story... its goofy ensemble, well-realized aesthetic, and crunchy indie soundtrack are enough to make it a breezy and mostly likable experience all around." - The Film Yap FAQs: This event will follow current COVID-19 guidelines for county, state, and federal safety.
