How a Canadian Back to the Future parody became an international cult hit

Based on the cult web series Nirvanna the Band the Show, the film stars director Matt Johnson and his co-writer Jay McCarrol as a pair of ambitious but air-headed musicians attempting to make it with their two-man musical group, Nirvanna the Band. In the film, as in the show, they banter, plot zany schemes, and interact with real people who have no idea they’re being filmed, like a more polite version of Borat.
