Two days prior to The Sweet Remains concert in Ketchum, The Center will present a special preview of The Independents, a brand-new film written and directed by The Sweet Remains’ Greg Naughton, and starring band members Greg Naughton, Brian Chartrand and Rich Price. The three will be on hand after the film to answer questions about the film, the process and perhaps even sing a song.

With Over 35 Million plays on Spotify —a rare feat for an all-indie band — multilead- singer folk-rock group The Sweet Remains is adding another unusual accomplishment their catalog: a feature film. “THE INDEPENDENTS” is not a band-documentary, but a fictionalized comedy/drama inspired by the trio’s real-life experiences together and starring the band. Written/directed by band-member Greg Naughton, the film just concluded a highly successful festival run in 2018. The Hollywood Reporter hailed it “An extremely engaging film… subverts all the cliches of the star-is-born story”. The Omaha Film Festival awarded it their grand jury-prize for “Best Feature Film 2018”.
