The Shins’ James Mercer in Some Days Are Better Than Others Trailer
By Krystal Clark
BeatCrave is a music site dedicated to bringing you the latest in music news, but this story transcends the medium. I recently came across a trailer for the upcoming film entitled, Some Days Are Better Than Others. This is no ordinary movie, it features a roster of rock musicians from Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney to The Shins frontman James Mercer, and believe me, there are a lot more than where they came from.
Check out the cameo laced trailer for Some Days Are Better Than Others…

Some Days Are Better Than Others is the directorial debut of Matt Mccormick. “It’s a poetic, character-driven feature-length film that asks why the good times slip by so fast while the difficult times seem so sticky.” Here’s a brief plot synopsis.
Katrina (Carrie Brownstein) is a twenty-something reality TV enthusiast, video diarist and animal shelter worker whose world falls apart when she finds that those important to her are often not what she hopes they would be. Eli (James Mercer) is a mid-30s slacker who could offer a thoroughly researched social critique explaining all the reasons why he shouldn’t get a job; his experiences temping only reinforce his assertions. Camille (Renee Roman Nose) is a socially handicapped thrift store attendant who spends her days sorting through the donated discards of other people’s lives, and Otis (David Wodehouse) is an 84-year-old eccentric filmmaker and inventor who strives to be recognized for his work.
How much amazing talent can be featured in one film? As you can see from the trailer this isn’t a light and fluffy piece. Even though it’s filled with drama and uncomfortable situations, it’s interesting to see the musicians we know and love in a different light.
