Southlander



         


Southlander (2003 in film) is an American independent film by Steven Hanft and Ross Harris.

Originally titled Recycler after the Los Angeles magazine of the same name, the filmwriters changed the name of the movie--and a central plot device--to Southlander to avoid trademark issues.

Synopsis

Down-and-out keyboardist Chance (Cochrane) sees redemption in touring with a dub-pop band fronted by the lovely Rocket (Orton). But to make the band, he needs a signature sound--which he finds in the futuristic '69 "Molotron" keyboard. Chance's dreams are put on hold on the eve of the tour, when the Molotron is swiped from his car. Southlander follows Chance and his friend Ross Angeles (Harris) as they track down the stolen keyboard through the pages of the Southlander, a local rag that publishes classified ads for musical equipment. The journey quickly turns into a surreal trip through LA's underground music scene.

Southlander runs approximately 80 minutes, and is filled with musical interludes, performances, and an original soundtrack.
