Isabel is a talented violist trying to find her footing in New York’s freelance classical music scene. She takes on gigs both big and small – weddings, funerals, and eccentric dinner parties – and often finds herself entangled in other people’s private lives. When an ex-boyfriend suddenly reappears and she gets the chance to audition for the New York Philharmonic, surely nothing can go wrong. Or can it?
The film brims with funny and instantly recognizable situations. Director and lead actor Isabel Hagen, who has a background as both a violist and stand-up comedian, uses precise comic timing and sharp dialogue to extract humor from everyday life. She proves herself adept at playing on many strings at once.
On a String, which expands on Hagen’s web series Is a Violist, is a charming comedy about ambition, insecurity, and the difficult question of whether one is truly ready to take the next step.
