a film in progress
The year was 1996—San Francisco was the place to be. Through honest self-expression and raw talent, Keala revealed his eclectic, multidisciplinary talent that connected to spectators and fellow musicians. In the streets of San Francisco, wearing a wig, tights, and heels while mastering the role of a nervous wreck, Keala embodied Courtney Love. That spot-on execution and passion turned into a band, The Nervous Breakdowns. This documentary is a raw and honest look at Keala’s journey, sexual discovery, the break up of an eclectic band, and dedication to his talent, creativity, and passion. Keala’s love of music and talents make him someone you cannot help but root for. He is a passionate artist who fights for what he wants and doesn’t give up till he gets it.
And this time around—he’s not gonna lose.
