AIR GUITAR NATION is the feature documentary about the birth of competitive Air Guitar in the United States. The film will be followed by Q&A with 2019 World Champion The Marquis and then we open the stage for an airaoke jam session!
Every August, the Air Guitar World Championships bring thousands of fans all the way to Oulu, Finland to see the world's best air guitarists battle it out for 60 seconds of mock stardom but for years, the USA was missing in action. Enter the first official US Air Guitar Championships.
Full of triumph and disappointment, patriotic spirit and political tension - and of course invisible guitars - this tension filled competition quickly turns very real as the contestants battle to win the title of World Air Guitar Champion. AIR GUITAR NATION captures the explosion of competitive air guitar through the eyes of former world champions, fans and media, and through the personal rivalries of those trying to attain the title of "The best Air Guitarist in the world.
Following the show, 2019 Air Guitar World Champion Rob "The Marquis" Messel will hold a brief Q&A and then open the stage for "Air-aoke!" Air guitar meets karaoke, one person or an entire air band will take the stage to rock out to a song of their choice!
