His phone and his comfortable sheets keep August reluctant to leave his castle of complacency. Savoring his last seconds of rest, August prepares for the day, not quite ready. He arrives at his yoga lesson, only to remain entranced by his phone. His phone keeps him from fully engaging with the yoga positions, his fellow yogis in training, or himself. He struggles to keep up with the class. August then finds himself at a party down the way. He attempts to make conversation but is overwhelmed by the party atmosphere. Not quite in his element, August returns to his phone. He makes it back home, slightly more intoxicated than intended. He misses his family and friends back home, and restlessly grasps onto old times. The next few days are a blur for August. He goes to work in a haze, attempts to start his studies before classes start, is late to yoga, and is late to work. He seems to be losing a grip on his responsibilities as a functioning adult. He then gets a letter from his parents, reminding him of all the loved ones he holds dear from home and all the people who motivate him to trek on forward. His spirits lifted, August makes strides in connecting with others, at the yoga studio and at another party. He still slips up from time to time, but at least he's starting to find his own little corner. Happiness takes time and effort and August finds a bit of solace in learning this lesson.

- Dither: The D.I.Y. Sound, is a documentary about heightening your sense of community and stimulating positive social change. In other words, it's not your conventional punk rock documentary. In this documentary we explore the ideologies created by cornerstones of the early punk community such as Ian Mackaye of Minor Threat, Fugazi and Dischord Records. But beyond that, we explore the communities and people that have adopted these ideologies and created their own version of what it means to be D.I.Y. This is not a documentary about just music, it's a documentary about the communities that surround the music and embrace it as a way of identification and brotherhood. But this documentary doesn't just ask questions about the culture, it asks questions about how it's possible to maintain a culture that is, at it's core, so opposite of the modern economic and social system. Jacob Bannon describes it as 'It's a constant battle uphill.' This documentary is about that battle and why it's important.
