Julie Bean

Julie Bean, an 18-year-old musician and aspiring doctor, joins her best friend’s boyfriend’s band the summer before her sophomore year of college. She grows to love the life of a musician and the cafe where they play starts feeling like home, but her life is far from carefree; we watch as she juggles a difficult relationship with her parents, her sister’s struggles for acceptance, a mercurial new boyfriend, and a nagging sense that there is more to her identity than she once believed. As her relationship with a bandmate blossoms and takes Julie into uncharted territory, it ends up touching all corners of her life in ways she could never have predicted. Highlights include bad coffee, a strategic pie, a stage that’s too small, the worst band tour of all time, and almost driving to Montreal by accident.
