NOW STREAMING. FREE. The complete audio production of “Aughts,” a new radio play written & directed by Jake Lebowitz.

Pay-what-you-can and experience the Script Visualizer at our link in bio. A layered video and audio experience, read the full-length script in real-time with accompanying visuals and footage from the recording studio.

Recorded live in New York City, “Aughts” hovers over two forsaken 27-year-olds reuniting the night of a family wedding. Sharp, witty, and unsentimental, their larger-than-life orphaned dreams become the centerpiece of a passionate exorcism about lives not lived when staring down the barrel of the one you do.

Aughts was independently produced and published online for free.
The best way to support is to please “Like” and “Share” this so more people can discover it. If it moves you, you may leave what you can at CollectiveHammer.com to support our next production.

Four years ago, we set out to make a short documentary about our dad.

Somewhere along the way, it became something much bigger.

Our dad spent two decades as one of the voices behind countless American commercials, but as we started interviewing the musicians he worked with, we realized we weren’t just uncovering a forgotten corner of music history. We were uncovering our own family’s story.

Then a phone call from Italy changed everything.

A 1988 jingle our dad recorded under the name “Joe Trio” had unexpectedly become a cult hit overseas, turning what started as a retrospective into a story that is still unfolding.

How Not to Be a Rockstar is about music, legacy, family, loss, and the strange ways life refuses to stay in the past.

Thank you to everyone who trusted us with your stories, and to everyone who helped us get this film across the finish line.

Festival submissions start now. Wish us luck.
