Dreaming in America (2005)

At the heart of Dreaming in America is Luceros story about that amazing thing too often overlooked a bluecollar rock groups struggle to survive As the music industry has exploded over the past few decades and the ability to move units has become the defining calculus of the business its an incredibly emotional experience to see a band who does it because they have to because their lives depend on it and because they love it There are hundreds of such bands crisscrossing the country at any given moment This is a film about one of thema band on the edge of greatness working to break through In a happy bit of rock kismet Dreaming in Americas cameras started rolling just as Lucero was breaking from its indie rock past and considering the treacherous leap to a major label deal unlike anything seen by the industry before At that point the band was between labels and though it had sold north of 20000 records
