An audience-pleasing riff on the dirty underbelly of the American Idol phenomenon, Great World of Sound stars Pat Healy and Kene Holliday as Martin and Clarence, two normal southern guys who get caught up in the excitement of a record industry talent scouting scheme. Unemployed one day and record producers the next, Martin and Clarence have a blast signing new acts and hit the road looking for the next big thing. But what happens once the checks are cashed? A playful, contemporary take on the classic American story of the confidence man, Great World of Sound evokes conflicted hucksters from Willy Loman and the Maysles Brothers' Salesman to the seedy charmers of seventies Robert Altman. With real-life audition footage weaved into the fictional narrative, Craig Zobel's provocative debut explores the outer limits of our desire for celebrity, where big dreams beget bigger illusions, and fame always has its price. Martin (Pat Healy) is an uncomplicated southern guy with a resume that includ

Filmmaker Craig Zobel explores the shortcuts that some folks are willing to take to become famous while simultaneously exposing the unscrupulous manner in which others take advantage of these desperate souls with this story of two men who set out to train as record producers. Excited about the prospect of helping to sign undiscovered artists, Martin (Pat Healy) answers an ad to train as a record producer. Over the course of his apprenticeship, Martin is paired with like-minded trainee Clarence (Kene Holliday) -- a middle-aged man seeking out a new career path. Upon graduating from the program, Martin and Clarence are assigned the task of traveling to towns where the company has placed newspaper ads searching for untapped talent. For a fee, these emerging talents can have their music heard by an increasingly larger audience.

Unemployed one day and record producers the next, Martin and Clarence have a blast signing new acts and hit the road looking for the next big thing. But what happens once the checks are cashed? Craig Zobel s independent film bona fides are firmly in place: he served on the crew of David Gordon Green s early films, and Green serves as executive producer of GREAT WORLD OF SOUND.

I became fascinated by how desperate people were to get on TV, but how little they seemed to care about how they were portrayed once they got there, he says
