Gridlocked
Available on DVD/Blu-Ray and VOD.
Filmed over the span of seven years, the newly completed documentary "Gridlocked" follows the Los Angeles-based punk-rock band The Briggs. Much of the film was shot during the band's 10 day tour of the west coast with personal interviews with the band's frontman, Joey LaRocca. From Joey's engaging perspective, the film explores the sometimes harsh and other-times intensely rewarding lifestyle of musical artists. Joey must navigate a musical career that fell short of his youthful expectations as it collided with the realities of maturing and gaining family responsibilities. The story culminates, in what may be the final tour with the band that he loves, with the realization and acceptance that life doesn't always play out as planned.
