For more than a decade, Eric Tretbar has been making movies filmed in and set in Minneapolis.

His first two movies, as well as his latest, "The Horrible Flowers," feature characters hanging out in the local music scene, which Tretbar knows pretty well from playing in bands like The Funseekers in the 1980s and The Spectors in the early '90s.

Tretbar spoke with The Current's Mary Lucia.
