Stuck Between Stations is an upcoming romantic drama film. Helmed by Twin Cities filmmaker Brady Kiernan from a script penned by Nat Bennett and Sam Rosen, the film is an authentic snapshot of a generational zeitgeist and tells a coming-of-age story for modern-day middle America about former high school classmates reunited by chance during a chaotic party-filled evening.[2]
Stuck Between Stations will be premiering as an official selection of the Viewpoints section at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, New York, U.S.A.[3] No release schedule has been announced for the film yet.
Plot
A decade after they graduated from high school and went their separate ways, Casper, a soldier haunted by the horrors of war, and Rebecca, a whip-smart graduate student with a shaky future, reunite by chance and get to know each other over the course of an accidental tour of the little-known underbelly of Minneapolis. The evening's odyssey includes a bar fight, a house party, a punk-rock circus, a spontaneous burglary, a home Casper did not know he had, and a cast of strange characters, unexpected allies and disappointing friends.

Production
Stuck Between Stations is produced by Spencer Kiernan and Todd Cobery for RKB Pictures. The film was shot mainly in Minneapolis.[4] Principal photography began on October 2, 2009.[2]
It was the 2009 indie thriller Four Boxes through one of the actors of the film, Sam Rosen, that lead Brady Kiernan to directing Stuck Between Stations. Rosen and his writing partner, Nat Bennett, were working on the screenplay for Stuck Between Stations and in March 2009 submitted it to Kiernan.[5]
Stuck Between Stations is named after the opening track of The Hold Steady’s Boys and Girls in America album. “The title [of the film] is mostly a reference to the spirit of the song,” Kiernan revealed in an 2009 interview. "This film is about those nights that we’ve all had where you meet someone, spend the whole night with them and start to maybe fall in love."[6]
On June 7, 2010 the Independent Feature Project (IFP), America’s oldest and largest organization of independent filmmakers, announced that Stuck Between Stations was one of the ten projects selected for participation in its 2010’s narrative edition of their prestigious Independent Filmmaker Labs. The Independent Filmmaker Labs are a highly immersive free mentorship program for low-budget (< $1,000,000) first feature films which have shot all or a substantial amount of footage for their features but have not completed post-production.

Lab partners include 92Y Tribeca, The Adrienne Shelly Foundation, BMI, Filmmaker Magazine, Deluxe Post New York, Rooftop Films, and The Workbook Project.[7]
