Cleopatra Music and Film,
with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has
tabbed July 10 for the DVD debut of director Daniel Jerome Gill’s romantic
comedy, Modern Life is Rubbish.
Natalie (Freya Mavor — The
Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun, Not Another Happy Ending, etc.)
longs to be an artist (a unique artist), but who finds herself working her way
up the hierarchy of a London creative agency.
Her dreams are her future, so she plays the game.
Liam (Josh Whitehouse — Poldark,
Alleycats, Northern Soul) also dreams … he’s the frontman for a local
rock group called the Headcleaner and imagines himself a great recording
artist. He just needs to find his
groove; experience life (or so he thinks), but he steadfastly refuses to play
“the game” (as he sees it).
The two meet-cute at a
local record shop and later at a local nightclub and hit it off. Two dreamers, who are faced — after a number
of years together — with the sad fact that it is not working out and their
music collection must, somehow, now be divided up.
Through a series of
flashbacks their relationship plays out as Natalie has realized, perhaps too
late, that she has put her dreams on hold in order to support those of
Liam’s. He’s a man-child who has yet to
find his “voice;” his unique music sound.
And therein is the conflict that filmmaker Daniel Jerome Gill has set up
in this bittersweet tale of love and music … and dreams that are unfulfilled!
