About Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (stylised in all lowercase) is a 2025 Canadian science fiction comedy film directed by Matt Johnson, from a script he wrote with Jay McCarrol. It is based on their 2007–2009 web series, Nirvana the Band the Show, and its 2017–2018 television adaptation, Nirvanna the Band the Show. As in the previous series, Johnson and McCarrol star as fictionalised versions of themselves in a musical duo called Nirvanna the Band as they attempt to book a gig at the Rivoli in Toronto. A new plan accidentally sends Matt and Jay back in time to 2008. Development of a feature adaptation began as early as 2009. After the success of his 2023 film BlackBerry, Johnson secured financing for the project through Telefilm Canada. Shot over 200 days with a small crew, the film was produced in a guerrilla style similar to the television series, with many scenes filmed in public without permits and featuring improvised interactions with unsuspecting members of the public. Its plot was heavily inspired by Back to the Future (1985), which is also heavily referenced throughout the film. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie premiered at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival on March 9, 2025, before being theatrically released in Canada and the United States on February 13, 2026. It received critical acclaim, winning Best Motion Picture at the 14th Canadian Screen…
