Death of You Tube clip

posted on August 27

A sign of progress disguised as a disappearance. The clip still up on this site - though perhaps not for long - has been yanked off You Tube. We obliged after being asked to by Sony, which holds the licensing on many of the Kinks songs we're looking to use in the film. (We could have paid the five grand to license a preview, but I figured that clip has done its job, is super old and that you all would prefer we put out cash toward getting closer to getting the movie out. The good news: The licensing process has begun.

For anybody who has ever dealt with this aspect of the business - the waiting, the nagging, the paying - that's ALSO the bad news.

House call. As long as you live in the United States or my plane ticket won't run more than $500, I'll come to your home with my iPod so I can share my favorite Kinks songs as well as tell stories about the making of this film. I'll also bring a rough cut along so you can get a sneak peek of the movie.
