Update #10: Easing into post production on Lost Rockers
Hi backers and friends,
Apologies for the lack of recent updates but we've hard at work with production on Lost Rockers. We are almost wrapped on principal photography for our main interviews and should wrap up our remaining shoots by June. We are easing into the early phases of post production and have recently been spending time on some deep archival research of our main subjects and are finding some incredible material that has rarely been seen. We've also been updating our facebook page with photos from our shoots so go and "like" us there.
Our Youtube page has a bunch of clips and archival footage of our Lost Rockers. Although not the stuff we are finding in our deeper research it is pretty cool and entertaining so check that out too - lostrockersmovie
We'll try to add some exclusive backer only clips later this spring as we get deeper into the editing of the film meanwhile here are a few behind the scenes photos from some recent shoots with Chris Robison, Harry Belafonte, Simon Stokes and a group shot at our IFP independent film week party with Jake Holmes, David Peel, Chris Robison, and yours truly Paul Rachman, Steven Blush and our main man Tony Mann.
Thank you all again and again for your generous support. We are at the halfway point!

Update #9: Los Angeles shoot
We just returned from a successful Lost Rockers shoot in Los Angeles where we interviewed Bobby Jameson, Cherry Vanilla, Duncan Faure and Evie Sands. This was our first major production trip with our Kickstarter funds, we thank you all again. In the upcoming weeks we will be shooting some more interviews in New York City and will be planning our London production trip.
Here are some photos from LA:
