Frank and Cindy
Directed by G.J. Echternkamp
Produced by Lleju Productions, The Group Films
An autobiographical comedy-drama about a one-hit-wonder musician and his groupie wife, exploring the gap between youthful dreams and the reality of ordinary life.
G.J. Echternkamp tells the story of his relationship with his parents, his mother Cindy and his step-father, Frank. Frank used to be a member of OXO, a band from the '80s whose one hit wonder scored with the song "Whirly Girl". Cindy was the ultimate groupie who married Frank and thought life would be glamorous and award shows, but it's not how it turned out.
