How do you choose between the love of your life and your muse? That is the choice faced by Joe Schermann, who plays himself in this musical drama from writer-director Gary King. After moving to New York to make it big on Broadway, Joe is given a chance to write songs for an Off-Broadway musical. But who to cast? His girlfriend Evey (Christina Rose), or the alluring Summer (Debbie Williams), whose vocals give new life to Joe's words?

A love letter to the golden days of Hollywood musicals, King grounds Schermann's catchy songs in a realistic relationship drama. With Broadway razzle-dazzle and more intimate moments, How Do You Write a Joe Schermann Song reimagines a neglected genre for 21st century audiences.
