Indie auteur Joe Swanberg‘s is ready to rock.

Swanberg is writing, editing and directing an as-yet-untitled 35mm dramedy in Chicago. Shiloh Fernandez and Marc Senter star as Oliver Cross and Lucas Hunter, founders of an indie rock band named Fast Star.

Per the logline, “two longtime indie rock musicians’ band gets an unexpected second wind after a younger, newly popular rapper samples one of their old songs. Suddenly back in the spotlight and on tour, their increasingly different approaches to middle age push long-simmering personal and creative tensions to the breaking point.”
