1980s Rock and Roll Movie to Premiere at Carson City film festival
The movie “Turn it Up” will be celebrating a "homecoming, of sorts" as producer, director, writer and Nevada native Michael Charboneau brings his film to Carson City for the Jukebox International Film Festival on August 20.
"Turn it Up” is a coming of age comedy about six guys from small town anywhere chasing the dreams of rock stardom. Through sheer tenacity and blatant exaggeration, their band Attitude Problem is offered the headlining slot for a day long music festival called, "Can Jam."
The dilemma ensues to actually find time to practice and get good, or let the mayhem of the 80's make them a footnote in history as, "The greatest band that never was.”Charboneau, is formally from West Wendover, Nevada and has family from the Elko and Ely areas. "I have always considered Nevada to be my home state," said Charboneau, "and that is why we are excited to premiere this film to a Nevada audience."
Music plays a large part in the film and features a soundtrack of some of the greatest songs from the 1980s. Steve Lynch, founding member and lead guitarist with the 1980s band “Autograph,” is an Associate Producer on the film. Lynch provided his iconic song “Turn Up the Radio,” for the soundtrack.
The movie will premiere to the public on Tuesday, August 20, 2 p.m., at the Bob Boldrick Theatre in Carson City. Admission is free. Go here for information on the Jukebox International Film Festival, which runs August 20-22.
