"The Go Fast" is a comedy film about a band from a small town that is constantly trying to make it, without ever actually trying. Inspired by adult feel good comedies of the 2000's, we explore how a group of deadbeat middle aged failed rockstars leave their complacency of middle age behind for one last shot at success...and relevance.
The plot twists crude humor with the universal feeling of middle age burnout and the hope to one day turn your art into a career.
Pretentiousness, humor, and the longing to have meaning in the constantly evolving and devolving atmosphere of 2023. A group of imbecile rockstars must come together to reform as an outdated band to reconnect with an audience who moved on in life and establish relevance with the tick-tock youth they cant even begin to understand.
We aim to combine funny visual language with story elements of comedy for comedy's sake, as we want to differentiated this project with the overused "problem and lesson"/preachy comedies of today. We want the audience to laugh in the expense of our idiotic characters but also identify and feel their struggle of life's meaningless grind. We hope to gather an audience across the generational divide, showing todays young generation a time capsule of the absurdities of the last one and grab the middle age audience by playing to their struggles they
face.
The Go Fast was a project started nearly 10 years ago by a long time group of friends and work partners. This is a subject matter we grew up around and know well.
“The Go Fast” is the story of a band from a small town that is constantly trying to make it, without ever actually trying…
The band is in a constant state of change over and turmoil with an egotistical lead singer who can’t seem to simply get out of his own way, all while trying to lead the band to greatness!

Henry Bolt’s renowned shredding is what brought him to the forefront as the lead guitar player for The Go Fast.

Jamarcus Valley is an artist both with the sticks and a brush. His unprecedented ability to always lay down the sickest beats behind the kit keeps The Go Fast going fast. Bringing an acid induced foresight keeps him pragmatic to only the most obvious of situations.
Todd’s increasing talent on bass guitar brought him to Dex’s attention and later him to The Go Fast. His carefree demeanor, often at odds with other band members, levels out the dynamic of the group. The ability to always find a good grove and good buds keeps him in The Go Fast’s company.
Always can be the one you rely on to be unreliable, but his location to The Go Fast house and his ability to pick up a bass guitar brought him to the band. Occasionally showing up to practice and mostly being intoxicated however, has lead to many altercations and defecations. His luck may be running low, as his bottles seem to, but he always seems to find more.
Having past struggles with alcohol and anger problems, Gary got himself cleaned up and then relocated with his parents to the small town. He’s played the bass in a variety of bands and now, thanks to many hours of extensive therapy, brings a positive energy to whatever it is that life throws at him.
