Jammed
Synopsis
Love. Happiness. Fake Hippies.
The Epic Concept is the jam band to watch, and Rachel, an inexperienced filmmaker, wants to document their rise to stardom. She attends a 3-day jam band festival, bringing her buttoned-up boyfriend Evan along to run sound.
When Rachel's camera and equipment goes missing, Rachel tries to make the most of their weekend and enjoy all of the music (& recreational drugs) the festival has to offer. Meanwhile Evan is on a mission to infiltrate the jam band scene he despises and find the missing camera.
Complicating things is the presence of Rachel's ex-boyfriend, Mike, a non-stop party animal bent on winning her back.
A deadpan comic tale about the hazards of judging others by their appearances and the impossibility of recapturing the past.

Reviews
“A well-reviewed comedy set in the twirlydancing stoner universe of a jam-band festival.” - Variety
“So close you can smell the patchouli.” - Rogue Cinema
“The music soundtrack is flawlessly done. Truly an ear catching experience to go along with this outrageously, funny independent film. The story is perfection. The acting is golden. I laughed so hard at times I think I busted a lung.” - A Bucket of Corn
“Jammed is a very funny, and strikingly realistic portrayal of what it’s like for those of us that seem to be stuck in the generation between Millennials and Gen X-ers.” - The Well Written Woman
