Institute History
Description
It’s 1980. The clothes are neon. The hair is BIG. The music is Devo, the Romantics, the Ramones and. . .the Suburbans, who seem destined for superstardom after ther first big hit. Instead they quickly disappear into musical oblivion. Eighteen years later, the group, reunited for a wedding, are approachied by music executive Cate (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who wants them to record an album and make a video. At first Danny (Donal Lardner Ward), Rory (Tony Guma), Mitch (Craig Bierko), and Gil (Will Ferrell) are excited. However, caught between childhood dreams and fears of being vinyl-suited has-beens, the Suburbans may not be ready to recapture their past glory.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
