Lifelong best friends Matt and Jay have a singular, obsessive dream: to play the Rivoli, a legendary Toronto venue. There is just one problem… they’ve never actually written or recorded a single song.

Following the cult success of their web and TV series, Nirvanna: The Band: The Show: The Movie finds the duo pushing their Rube Goldberg-style schemes to a cinematic breaking point. When a publicity stunt involving the CN Tower goes spectacularly wrong, the pair accidentally convert their RV into a time machine and trigger a “Back to the Future” style trip to 2008.

Directed by Matt Johnson (BlackBerry, The Dirties), the film is a technical marvel of DIY filmmaking, blending scripted chaos with real-world hidden camera footage and illicit stunts. It’s an anarchic, fast-paced, and surprisingly heartfelt tribute to friendship and the delusional ambition of staying forever young in a digital age.
