Rebuilding 2008: Matt Johnson & Jay McCarrol Talk Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

Video Description

We caught up with Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol to talk about bringing Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie to the big screen — and why they had to painstakingly recreate 2008 to pull it off. Based on their cult-favorite Canadian TV series Nirvanna the Band the Show, the film continues the chaotic, DIY misadventures of two lifelong friends trying (and usually failing) to make it big. But translating the show’s unique style to a feature film wasn’t as simple as scaling things up. Johnson and McCarrol break down the challenge of revisiting the late-2000s era, recreating locations, technology, and even the mindset of who they were back then. We also dive into how the movie expands on the original series, what longtime fans can expect, and how the jump from television to film allowed them to push the concept even further.
