Overview

Endless Calls for Fame takes place in the gritty streets of New York City in the 1990s during a time when punk and indie rock was moving from the underground into the mainstream after the cultural tsunami of Nirvana. Using her rediscovered personal archival footage, the director shares the front-row story of this unique era of alternative rock through the lens of one band's experience, The New Rising Sons. The film brings to life a vibrant New York music scene of the past as it follows the band’s brush with stardom, their dissolution, and their journey to redemption 20 years after they were formed.
