JEFF GOLDBLUM may have starred in some of the biggest movies in history, but to secure a green card for his young Canadian fiancé he's agreed to do a two-week regional theater production of "The Music Man" in his Pennsylvania hometown. Now he's faced with grueling rehearsals, a furious agent, good friends (ED BEGLEY, Jr. and ILLEANA DOUGLAS) with their own troubles whom he's convinced to co-star, and the very real prospect of a song-and-dance disaster. MOBY, CONAN O'BRIEN, and other Hollywood personalities also appear in this genre-blurring fictional story shot entirely in real life.
Winner, Special Jury Prize, SXSW Film Festival
Jon E. Edwards, self-proclaimed "Number 3” soul man in the world, wants to be “International Soul Rocker Number One.” Equal parts Frank Sinatra and Johnny Rotten, Jon is a self-styled crooner whose real talent lies in his belief in himself rather than his vocal appeal per se.
When Jon learns that his mother is given one month to live, he leaves his New York City apartment to care for her in Los Angeles. With his life on hold, Jon struggles to find his way as a soul man while at the same time having to worry about keeping his room clean so his mom will stay off his back.

Turning to her friends in show business, she learned she was not alone - everyone she knew, from her rabbi to her gynecologist, had their own account of getting the boot.
