The battle for world air guitar supremacy

Friends, colleagues, countrymen,

Theatrical release of AIR GUITAR NATION is upon us -- it's opening in NYC on 3/23 at the Angelika Theater and then rolling out nationwide after that (see below).

AIR GUITAR NATION tells the story of the rise of competitive air guitar in the United States -- but it's also got something very important to say in this time of global uncertainty. Check this clip out, and you'll understand:



Please carpetbomb your contacts with this message of hope.

Early Reviews:

"Racously entertaining" -- Paper

"As one might expect, Air Guitar Nation is often hilarious. Yet remarkably, AGN, once you get over the “Is this really happening?” hurdle, manages to maintain a gripping narrative in spite of its subject matter. Perhaps even more remarkable is how readily the viewer is sucked into this surreal world." --High Times

"Air Guitar Nation is textured, well-crafted — and hilarious."--St. Louis Riverfront Times
