I had seen this film a short while ago on a wild, stormy summer night after a full day of consuming rock docs. I have to say, I had never heard of its subject before. I gave it a chance, though my ass was already quite sore from the aforementioned daily indulgence and I hadn't eaten much between flicks. In fact, I was pretty grouchy too... But the add art was cool and the buzz about this thing in the lobby of the NFB piqued my curiosity. So I thought that I'd at least give it a shot. Now this was over a year ago and not one week has passed where my mind hasn't begged the question: "When will this film be released???" I found emotions and moments upon moments of humour and heart that quite simply DO NOT EXIST in current motion pictures, let alone rock docs. The story of England's first independent pop record producer and creator of such iconic melodies as the revelatory instrumental "TELSTAR" is rich with interesting characters who are eloquent and personal in sharing their recollections and sharp, profound insights on history and culture. The music is memorable as is the witty, fast paced editing and photo manipulations. One of the film's 2 directors was present at the screening, which he informed the crowd was actually a work-in-progress. Very impressive for a movie made by just 2 people on such a small budget (with a few very talented graphic artists as well!)! I have never seen a crowd more interested in a Q&A in my life! A documentary on the art-metal-delic rock band THE MONKS preceded this with one of The Monks actually present and went quite well, but when the Joe Meek director took the stage later in the evening, not one person left the theatre... for nearly another hour and a half! Unheard of! The story is just that fascinating. While thestory is at times very, very heartbreaking it also sparkles with wit and great storytelling. I really fell in love that night. With Joe Meek (his passion and innovation)and this film. But I also miss it and wish to see it surface again soon, hopefully finished to the very talented directors (one of whom is a woman, thank you very much!)satisfaction. I wish them all the best.
