Roadies: 1. Life Is a Carnival (2016 Cameron Crowe & scr)

A brilliantly written show which manages to introduce all the characters and conflicts: Imogen Poots wanting to leave for film school, her brother Colson Baker (Machine Gun Kelly), the desertion of their parents; that Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino are like a married couple; the threat of Rafe Spall (terrific) and firings; conflicts with the bands...

Has an awesome feel for the music, and the history.. this is where Cameron came in after all... A gold standard of writing.

Ron White is Phil

Edited by Joe Hutshing, talent evident in climactic scene where Imogen runs backs to the band, cross cut to her own film of running scenes in films. Shot by Nicola Marsh. Clay Griffith is the production designer for the whole series (as well as Aloha, Elizabethtown and We Bought a Zoo).
