Epic air-drumming road trip comedy ADVENTURES OF POWER hits Salt Lake City and Austin today!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I've been following Ari Gold's ADVENTURES OF POWER since seeing it premiere in the midnight slot at Sundance last year. I really enjoyed myself (as can be evidenced by my review) and dug the world Ari Gold created. Yeah, I know his name's familiar to fans of Entourage and the fact that Vinny Chase himself is in this movie doubles the hilarity I'm sure, but the dude's a real deal talent.
Instead of taking a pitiful direct to video offer, Gold is going old school and four-walling his movie across the country. It opens in SLC at the Tower Theater and here in Austin at the Regal Arbor today.
What you get in Adventures of Power: Michael McKean as a hard-ass father, Jane Lynch as a smart-ass matronly figure, Adrian Grenier as a rapping country star named Dallas Houston with a hidden air-drumming passion, lots of Rush, the awesome character actor Steven Williams playing a handless air-drumming coach and a deaf love interest for Ari Gold's lead character played by the adorable Shoshannah Stern.
It takes a lot of courage to self-distribute and Gold has a movie that will gain a lot of fans. It might be too crazy for some people out there, but if you dig off-kilter comedy check it out if you can.
As of Friday it's in Austin and Salt Lake City and they're moving on to Phoenix, Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Portland after that.
