Now Schuck is getting ready for the Mankato debut and a film tour next spring.

“We’re booking a movie and rock concert package,” Schuck said.

The idea is to show the film at colleges and have a follow-up concert with one or more of the bands from the movie. There’s a plan to show the film and have the bands play at Iowa State University in Ames in April, among others.

Schuck hopes people not only enjoy the film as a music documentary but walk away with a bigger message.

“If it’s able to convey our position and our lives to people who wouldn’t normally get to see that side of things, I think it’s pretty awesome,” Epstein said.

In the spirit of that message, Schuck plans to do more projects in the film and documentary world, pursuing a passion this film helped kindle.
