Synopsis
Every Sunday, in a hall with poor acoustics and good coffee, a band that has never auditioned anybody rehearses for a concert nobody is charged to attend.
Sunday Practice was made for the band's anniversary and its city grant application. It is a film about showing up.
We recorded the music properly rather than off the camera, which meant a separate audio setup and one full rehearsal spent doing nothing but sound.
