Pavements, an examination of the iconic '90s indie band “Pavement,” appears to be just another music documentary. Until it doesn't. A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary and musical hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.

Rowdy is the story of Kyle Busch, a two-time NASCAR Cup champion and the winningest driver in the history of NASCAR, yet also one of the most controversial drivers. While Busch is known for his aggressive style and unapologetic approach to the sport, Rowdy allows the audience to gather a new perspective of him as the film shares his determination to get back on the track, his relationship with family, and exclusive interviews with some of NASCAR’s biggest names including Kyle Busch himself, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Rick Hendrick, Joe Gibbs, Marty Smith and Jamie Little.
