Winner of awards at both the SXSW and Tribeca Film Festivals, this documentary the birth of the U.S. Air Guitar Championships as legions of aspiring rock stars live out their dreams on a quest to become the world champion in a strange world where musical ability plays second fiddle to virtual virtuosity.

The film features the intense arch-rivalry between the two premiere U.S. air guitarists. C.Diddy (David Jung), a samurai warrior clad in a "Hello Kitty'' breast plate and red kimono, emerges as an early favorite. But his arch nemesis Dan Crane, whose stage name is Björn Türoque (pronounced "byorn to rock") is not far behind.
