Cameron Crowe's first film since his Academy Award nominated Jerry Maguire captures a pivitol time in the history of Rock and Roll. Set in 1973 it chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15 year old William (Patrick Fugit), an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and -coming band Stillwater, William embarks on an eye-opening journey with the band despite the objections of his protective mother. With the help of the lovely 'band aid' Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), William finds himself a circle. But as he becomes less an observer and more a participant in the band's dynamics, the fledgling reporter loses the objectivity to tell his story honestly and learnes a life-changing lesson about the impotance of family, the ones we inherit and the ones we create. Special features include Stillwater - Feverdog video, 'making of' featurette, Rolling Stone articles, trailers and production notes.
