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.

Carmel Art & Film Festival - Oct 8, 2010

Friday, October 8, 2010 @ 3:00 pst

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.

Woodstock Film Festival - Sept 30 & Oct 1, 2010

http://www.woodstockfilmfestival.com/festival2010/details.php?id=21140

 

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.

Nashville Film Festival - April 22, 2010

Don't Quit Your Daydream will be premiering at the Nashville Film Festival (NaFF) and will be available for viewing two days (April 21-22) of the eight-day festival that begins on April 15. In addition to supporting the screenings, The Good Listeners will be performing at the festival's closing party.

Don't Quit Your Daydream is the story of two musicians not ready to give up the dream of being rock stars after hitting 40. The duo set off to do what most said they couldn't -- record the album of their dreams on the road and document every second. Leaving their day jobs behind, they embarked on a 24-day cross-country road trip in an RV recording and filming both the album and documentary, Don't Quit Your Daydream. While spanning 12 cities across the heart of America, they recorded with varying musicians, including Bingo Richey at The Integratron created by George Van Tassel in Joshua Tree, CA, to Bugs Salcido on an art ranch in Marfa, TX, to Adrian Grenier at a barn in Lexington, KY.
 
The film leads viewers on an amazing journey and is an inspiration for anyone not willing to let anything get in the way of their dreams.
 
Don't Quit Your Daydream was produced in association with JLoar, Inc. and Adrian Grenier's Reckless Productions.
