SYNOPSIS

RUBBERBAND is a lyrical exploration of the margins; an observational portrait examining a Brooklyn couple navigating their path amidst rapidly changing political, social, financial and spiritual landscapes. Walter Baker is an eccentric, multi- instrumentalist struggling to maintain balance between creating art alongside the daily trials of making ends meet while raising his twelve year old son with his third wife (a poet). Artistically and philosophically situated on the fringes of mainstream culture, Baker grasps to bear the roles of family man, business owner and aspiring composer. An unexpected Texas family gathering triggers deeper conflicts that find him grappling to reconcile fractured roots down South, and eventually at home.
