Directed and photographed by Ted Rogers in his hometown of New Milford, Connecticut, the film is constructed by the small, clumsy moments experienced by a twenty-one-year-old student returning to his childhood home, trying to figure out his relationship to his old friends and the stark rural landscape.

After the star of a long-running variety show passes away, his son is obligated to reunite a weathered cast of television performers and host the final episode. Retired illusionists, singing cowboys and Peruvian daredevils adorn the stage as the new host protects his father's legacy from a bungling step dad. Caught somewhere in between variety and verité, People Parade is the tale of a new generation paying testament to its predecessor as well as the death of conventional genres.

The film tells the story of a young man who follows a girl from Boston to New York. The film maps the intertwined and complex network of connections, casual friendships and love-triangles that keep Alex a perpetual arm's length away from Nyle.
