Días de garaje
Co-Producer
Una joven banda de garaje de Sidney, Australia, sueña con lo mismo que todas: triunfar en el mundo de la música. Su manager finalmente consigue ponerlos en contacto con un ejecutivo de una importante discográfica, pero los problemas personales entre los distintos componentes del grupo comienzan a aparecer, complicándolo todo... El realizador australiano de origen egipcio Alex Proyas ("El cuervo", "Dark City") dirige esta historia que, a ritmo de música y en clave de comedia, explora los entresijos del nacimiento de una banda de rock, el oscuro mundo de las discográficas y los problemas implícitos de la fama y el estrellato. Proyas, que también es coautor del guión, introdujo aspectos autobiográficos en la historia, de cuando él, siendo un joven que todavía vivía en Australia y formaba parte de un grupo experimental de teclados, soñaba con alcanzar algún día la fama.
