Pavements
A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, is an examination of the iconic 90s indie band Pavement. The film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.

I went to high school in the early aughts and always wished I grew up during the grunge/alternative era and tried my best to expose myself to all the great bands. I somehow never learned about Pavement and through this film have been enlightened about them and their wonderful music and I feel lucky and unlucky somehow. I’m not sure I totally comprehended the biopic element, but that didn’t take away from how awesome the experience was. Excited to keep working through the discography.
