Where do air guitar fanatics go to express their inner shred genius? They’re found in dive bars and cramped stages across the nation as they battle it out in competition in order to qualify for the National Air Guitar Championship!

When Nina enters her first air guitar competition, she thinks winning will be easy. But as she befriends a group of charismatic nerds all committed to becoming the next air guitar champion, she discovers that there's more to this art form than playing pretend: it's about finding yourself in your favorite songs and performing with raw joy!

Will Nina be able to let go and set herself free onstage as an air guitar competitor? Following her mission to shred or be shredded, Airness is an exuberant reminder that everything we need to rock is already inside us. A comedy about competition, completion, and finding the “airness” inside yourself.
