Nathan and Clark are in a band called the Good Listeners. They are life-long musicians, and sometimes friends, who refuse to delegate their childhood dreams to a hobby. For one month they’ll drive across the country stopping in a new town every other day to collaborate with unknown local musicians. Throughout their journey, they encounter a diverse cast of strangers who force them to reconsider what it means to live a life dedicated to the art of music.

A musical adventure featuring The Good Listeners as they embark on a last ditch, cross-country, album-recording extravaganza to save their musical identity and hopefully their careers. The idea is simple: collaborate with a collection of mostly local, unknown and eclectic talent across the United States, from a down and out Memphis blues guitarist and mechanic to a banjo-playing gator swamp tour guide, to create a diverse new album.

The stars of the film “Don’t Quit Your Daydream” joined by producer Adrian Grenier ("Entourage") will take the stage following the screening to prove that it’s never too late to follow your dreams.

“Don’t Quit Your Daydream” is a musical adventure featuring first time director Clark Stiles and his band The Good Listeners as they embark on a last ditch, cross country, album-recording extravaganza to save their musical identity and hopefully their careers. The idea is simple: collaborate with a collection of mostly local, unknown and eclectic talent across the United States, from a down and out Memphis blues guitarist and mechanic to a banjo-playing gator swamp tour guide, to create a diverse new album. The results are often humorous, surprisingly touching and in the end form an amazing compilation of talented musicians and songs pieced together by desire and talent. Adrian Grenier of "Entourage" produces and also teams up with Clark and his band on one of the musical numbers. “Don’t Quit Your Daydream” is a road movie like no other that will inspire every dreamer to give it one last try.

In the spring of 2009 Nathan Khyber and Clark Stiles, collectively known as the Los Angeles musical group THE GOOD LISTENERS, embarked on a massive cross-country road trip that took them through 12 towns in 24 days. In each town, they set up their recording studio, met with a local musician they had never met before, wrote and recorded a collaborated song. One location, one stranger, one day, one song.

Join us for a special screening of the film that documents their incredible journey and the resulting music.

Live Q&A discussion to follow with filmmakers/musicians Clark Stiles, Nathan Khyber, Merritt Lear & Adrian Grenier.

PLUS: A very special LIVE performance by The Good Listeners with special guests.
