Director Michael Berry – 2017 USA 90 min – Bay Area Premiere
This year’s IndieFest Opening Night Program consists of two great music and dance films set in NYC.
First, we’re showing STUCK, which was originally a hit live theater musical. Six New Yorkers are trapped in a stuck subway car and eventually beginning sharing stories about their lives through song. It’s a wonderful film about how everyone you pass on the street has their own intense stories and lives.
People from all walks of life take public transportation, especially the subway in New York City. When six strangers get stuck together on a stalled subway train one day, they realize they have nothing to do but talk to each other while they wait for help. It isn’t long until the emotions of the trapped, frustrated strangers explode as the subway car becomes a kind of magical, musical, conduit cell. A place where strangers reveal, through song, more of themselves than any of them ever could have imagined. Thoughts, lives, and opinions change in the span of a couple of hours on this particular day and in this particular subway car. – Jeff Ross
