New British Cinema Quarterly is a brand new touring programme of original films from British filmmakers. We are delighted to launch a new programme with Soda Pictures and welcome the director to this screening of his delightful drama about the trials and tribulations of a group of wannabe indie rock stars.
1234 tells the story of bespectacled Stevie, who endures a job he despises alongside call center colleague/drummer extraordinaire Neil. When they persuade the ambitious Billy and talented Emily to start a new band, the possibility they might be onto something good presents itself. With a demo to tout, they set off to beat the well-trodden path of record companies and gig venues in hopes of conquering the British indie music scene.
