From chasing rockstar dreams to making a feature film
What happens when the dream you are chasing does not work out the way you planned? Singer-songwriter Rob Holub tells how years spent pursuing a music career led him, unexpectedly, to his first feature film, First Swiss Rockstar. A story of ambition and reinvention, where success is measured not in followers but in the courage to keep creating and to write your own path.
