The Independents

The Independents is a musical comedy/drama about three analog guys in a digital world. Rich is a talented singer-songwriter with an academic’s love of language. Greg is a pianist, tree-guy and free spirit whose long-time girlfriend wants him to grow up and get a real job. Brian is a wandering soul whose only friend appears to be a guitar. When these three struggling solo artists collide at the same crossroads, they discover a personal and musical symbiosis that rekindles each of their fading dreams of making a life in music. The band “RGB” is born (at least until they can come up with a better band name), and what follows is the journey of this unlikely trio on a roller coaster ride across America for one last high-stakes shot at musical glory.
