I Hate Practice

Classical musicians are just musicians. Buttoned up and tuxedo clad on stage, behind the scenes, their lives can be as insane as rock stars'. I HATE PRACTICE traces the extreme hilarity of rehearsals, the failed romantic entanglements backstage and the ridiculousness of performing Rachmaninov with full orchestra having played the piece only one time end-to-end.

Getting a full ride scholarship to UCLA in piano, quitting and graduating with a film degree, AKIRA NAKANO, traces his journey of dropping the music major, the road to resuming a performance career years later and the difficulties of finding love in the process.
