Seth Pomeroy

A fixture of the "indie rock" scene in the mid-90's, Silkworm left behind a unique catalog that is continually being re-discovered by critics and fans. Using extensive interviews with the surviving members, Couldn't You Wait? chronicles their unlikely 17 year long career on the fringe of alternative music.

Shot across the better part of the last decade, Seth Pomeroy’s long-gestating portrait of Nashville-based comedian, writer, podcaster and political candidate Chris Crofton emerges from the shadows — covering its subject from ascent, descent, and to ascent again. The film intersperses archival footage from the 1990s-2010s, following Crofton from Nashville to pre-COVID exile in Los Angeles — including a pivotal roller skating injury — and features commentary/appearances by departed local luminaries Dave Cloud and David Berman. Plenty of living luminaries show up as well, including Neil Hamburger and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James in a crucial “save.”
