"The Incoherents" To Be Screened At The Garden State Film Festival

"The Incoherents" To Be Screened At The Garden State Film Festival

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Bruce Flansburgh is a bored, 40-something paralegal who hasn’t let go of his dream of rock stardom in The Incoherents.  The film will be screened at The Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ on Sunday, March 31, 2019 at 11:45am at The Paramount Theatre. Tickets are $15.

While slogging through what’s become an increasingly unbearable day to day existence, it dawns on Bruce that the successful reunions of the Pixies, Soundgarden and other Gen X alternative/indie rock bands could perhaps inspire his former group to reform, The Incoherents. Inspired to get the band back, Bruce rallies his old line-up together and ignites a fire in his marriage. 

The cast includes Kate Arrington, Jeff Auer, Amy Carlson, Christine Chang, Alex Emanuel, Margaret Anne Florence, Robert McKay, and Annette O’Toole. Auer is also the film’s writer and co-producer. This light-hearted comedy is 103 minutes long and is anecdote for the melancholy of our sometimes insipid adulthoods. 

"Why must we set aside those things that are such an integral part of who we are? It posits the notion that maybe, just maybe, we can be grown ups and still be dreamers," asked Director Jared Barel. "In the summer of 2012, my buddy, producer and actor, Alex Emanuel, called me up asking if I’d be interested in directing a short film about a group of middle-aged guys that wanted to get their old 90s rock band back together based on a scene from a screenplay by Jeff Auer. The short was funny, sweet, had a flamboyant cast of characters, and the 90s rock band aspect of it was right up my alley. See, back in the 90s I, too, played in a handful of rock bands and it had been years since I last played a gig; my punk rock calling coming to an end around the same time that the world famous CBGBs was closing – the honor of being one of the last bands to play there a highlight of my musical 'career'."

The Paramount Theatre is located on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, New Jersey. For more on the Garden State Film Festival, click here.
