Paste sponsors Frank & Cindy at CMJ

At Paste, we enjoy music, film and domestic trainwrecks with equal zeal. Considering all that, it seemed natural that we sponsor the CMJ Film Festival screening of Frank & Cindy, a documentary that combines all three elements in a scintillating cinematic stew. If you're a CMJ badge holder, and happen to be hanging around the Museum of Modern Art in NYC on Oct. 16, stop by for the 7 p.m. screening. It's being hosted as a part of MoMA's Pop Rally program.

Directed by G.J. Ekterncamp, the doc revolves around his parents: a deadbeat stepfather who once fronted a one-hit wonder band (Frank), and an ambitious mom (Cindy). Cindy hopes that Frank can recapture his old musical magic by furnishing a brand new studio for him. Instead of recording, Frank drinks. Quite a bit, as a matter of fact. And then things get really interesting, with Ekterncamp filming all the while. There will be a Q&A with the young director after the screening concludes.
