Endless Calls for Fame: The Story of the New Rising Sons

Endless Calls For Fame takes place on the gritty streets of 1990s New York City during a time when punk and indie rock was moving from the underground into the mainstream after the cultural tsunami of Nirvana. Using her rediscovered personal archival footage, the director shares this first-hand story of a moment in the city’s musical zeitgeist through the lens of one promising band's experience, The New Rising Sons. Caught up in a major label signing spree intended to capitalize on this emerging underground sound, the band signed a million-dollar record deal and was poised for rock stardom. Endless Calls For Fame chronicles a vibrant musical era through the director and the bands’ lived experience, as the story follows the band’s brush with stardom, their dissolution, and their journey to redemption 20 years after they were formed.
