The foul-mouth rock-and-roll comedy feature film ‘Happy FKN Sunshine’, has been released on VOD platforms.
The film features a thematic soundtrack filled with classic deep cuts by Carl Perkins, Mura Masa feat Slowthai, 999, Otis Clay, Willie Cobbs, IOLITE, Eddie Burns, Maestro Wes William feat Chuck D, and Alexander Lewis along with original songs Pogey, Drive, and That’s How It’s Gonna Be written for the film.
‘Happy FKN Sunshine’ tells the story of Ronnie Weston (Mattea Brotherton) and her brother Will (Matt Close) who live in a one mill town. When the mill workers go on strike, the future for their family looks bleak. Fortunately, Ronnie has found a brisk business selling weed. When Will wants to start a band, Ronnie uses her weed profits to buy Will an electric guitar. Against everyone’s advice, Will enlists local outcast Artie Porter (Dana Hodgson) as the bass player. Artie spends his days allegedly partying with heavy metal icons and getting fellatio from rock and roll legends – or so he says. Artie’s lies cause instant conflict within the band, especially with Vince (Connor Rueter), the egotistical lead singer. But the musical chemistry is undeniable, and Will feels that his band just might hit the big time. If they can survive their dying town…and each other.
The film is directed by Derek Diorio and features an ensemble cast of musical legends Wes Williams and Ted Dykstra and newcomers Matt Close, Mattea Brotherton, Connor Rueter, Dana Hodgson and Maxime Lauzo
