Like any other up-and-coming band, local post-rock outfit I Am David Sparkle were psyched at being invited to the world-famous South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) in March 2009. But getting their act to their biggest stage yet with a lack of money and many an obstacle promised to knock the stuffing out of them, constantly telling them to take a detour. This local documentary chronicles their journey of passion, belief, and pulling out all the stops - from a fundraising gig to selling T-shirts - to raise sufficient funds in two months. Their spirit is admirable and this documentary... well, its really quite sparkling.

There will also be a post-screening Q&A session with director Helmi Ali and I Am David Sparkle.
