After parting ways with his girlfriend, unemployed drummer, Art finds himself broke, bitter, and on the verge of a breakdown. He leaves the big city and returns home to work for his father on the family farm. There he navigates a new field of possibilities and disappointments, meeting new friends and renewing bonds with old ones. Art s quest to quiet his anxieties and discover where he belongs is a universal one as old as storytelling itself. It s the search for life s meaning and a place in this world.
Brothers Tom and Adam Galassi collaborated with close friend Tom Snyder for the trio s directorial debut. They set their coming-of-age tale in downstate Illinois, effectively capturing the heart and flavor of the real Midwest in this award-winning indie film. The soundtrack features the combination of an original score by Tom McCarthy and music featuring My Morning Jacket, Devil in a Woodpile, South San Gabriel, & Centromatic.

Summary: TroubadourS
Comment: This film, by far, is one of the absolute BEST films I have ever seen- across any genre.
I had the opportunity to view the film at the Rt. 66 Film Festival in Springfield, Ill; and I must say I was totally blown away! The team at Downstate Productions fully delivers a quality, award winning film with an excellently crafted, constantly developing story line and pairs that with superb acting. The editing and the music accompany this piece so well, and it is so smooth and fluid- you sometimes forget you are watching an independent film.
I very highly recommend this film- to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Must see
Comment: Most indy films are still "big budget" and still consist of campy, hoaky, trite plots. Troubadours bypasses the nonsense and gets to the grit. It's not how you you think or may even want it to turn out, leaving he viewer in a place of their own, not being told how to feel or how to interpret the film. That's filmmaking.
