Stuck Between Stations premiered as an official selection of the Viewpoints section at the SVA Theater at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, New York, U.S.A.[3][4] A NYC theatrical release was slated in November 2011.[5][1]
A decade after they graduated from high school and went their separate ways, Casper (Sam Rosen), a soldier haunted by the horrors of war, and Rebecca (Zoe Lister Jones), 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.
Stuck Between Stations is produced by Spencer Kiernan and Todd Cobery for RKB Pictures. The film was shot mainly in Minneapolis.[6] 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 led 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.[7]
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 a 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."[8]
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.
