Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Michael Mabbott shot most of the musician interviews at the 2004 Hamilton Film Festival, catching legends between sets with zero prep.

Cultural

The film predates the mockumentary boom by a decade but landed in the shadow of 'A Mighty Wind' — unfairly, since it's way more committed to the bit.
