Band Aid (Zoe Lister-Jones)

Outdoors at House of Vans. 25 Franklin St. Brooklyn

Band Aid, the refreshingly raw, real, and hilarious feature debut from Zoe Lister-Jones, is THE STORY of a couple, Anna (Zoe Lister-Jones) and Ben (ADAM PALLY), who can't stop fighting. Advised by their therapist to try and work through their grief unconventionally, they are reminded of their shared love of music. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, they decide to turn all their fights into song, and with the help of their neighbor Dave (Fred Armisen), they start a band. A story of love, loss, and rock and roll, Band Aid is a witty and perceptive view of modern love, with some seriously catchy pop hooks to boot.

An IFC Films release.
