about the project and casting

Kim Gordon’s ‘Girl in a Band’ and Thurston Moore’s ‘Sonic Life’ serve as rich source material for a captivating biopic exploring the tumultuous rise of Sonic Youth. Gordon’s introspective journey through the highs and lows of fame, love, and artistic expression, coupled with Moore’s reflections on the band’s sonic experimentation and cultural impact, provide the perfect foundation for a cinematic exploration of alternative music’s most iconic couple. From the gritty streets of New York City to the global stage of alternative rock, their intertwined narratives offer a compelling backdrop for a biopic that delves deep into the creative process, personal struggles, and ultimate legacy of Sonic Youth.
