Radio America starring Jacob Motsinger, Christopher Alice, and Kristi Englemann has been picked up for distribution by Indican Pictures and will be released later this year. Clint Morris and Christopher Showerman of Shorris Film produced the movie along with Chris Durand and Eliza Washabaugh, with Showerman also writing the script and making his directorial debut with Radio America.
“If Indican were the stage, and we were musicians, we couldn’t ask for a better stage to present our act. With their passion, knowledge, and skill, they are undoubtedly the right distributor to bring Radio America to the masses,” stated Shorris Film’s Clint Morris.
The Plot:
Eric (Motsinger) and Dave (Alice) are two farm boys who dream of escaping their rural roots to achieve fame and fortune as rock stars. As they grow up, their talent grows with them. However, the real impetus behind their momentum is their friend Jane (Englemann), who manages their musical career. She finally gets them in front of a major label A&R scout who sees the potential of the act.
Dave and Jane become romantically involved and this strains their friendship with Eric. When the A&R scout replaces Jane as the manager and puts the act before America, the pressure is almost too much for their friendship to handle.
Their first tour puts them on a roller coaster of euphoria and tragedy that mercilessly puts the value of friendship vs. commercial success back into perspective for the survivors.
