\"\"<\/a>Over the last year we have been working on the film we are always asked the same few questions by folks who were in the scene: \u00a0“How did you pick the bands?”, “Why did you pick those bands?” or \u00a0“Why not my band?”. \u00a0Before I address those, let me say that we have hours and hours of footage, so if your band isn’t in the feature there is a high chance it will be in the DVD extras or in other content surrounding the film where people can hear your story.<\/p>\n

The fact of the feature is that the bands kind of chose themselves as the movie developed an story arcs took on a life of their own. We started out interviewing and talking with friends of ours from back in the day. We had a list of 30 names that we wanted to talk with, and we made sure to include people in the media and local music industry that would be more impartial. In fact, at first the only interview we knew we had<\/em> to have was with Tom Colletta.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, it was the guys like Tim McCoy that we interviewed for close to 2 hours that spoke about so many of the other musicians and bands that\u00a0got Michael Venn and I excited\u00a0to\u00a0interview people\u00a0that we didnt\u00a0previously\u00a0think\u00a0of\u00a0before, like\u00a0Jon\u00a0Nolan. I\u00a0never\u00a0got to\u00a0see Say ZuZu back in the day, and\u00a0to\u00a0my\u00a0delight\u00a0the\u00a0interview\u00a0with\u00a0Jon\u00a0Nolan was\u00a0one\u00a0of\u00a0my\u00a0favorites. Not\u00a0only\u00a0did\u00a0he\u00a0talk\u00a0about\u00a0some\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0great new\u00a0talent\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0area, he\u00a0spoke\u00a0of\u00a0a\u00a0few\u00a0more\u00a0musicians\u00a0from\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0genres\u00a0who\u00a0have gone\u00a0on in their careers beyond The\u00a0Seacoast, making\u00a0a\u00a0name\u00a0for\u00a0themselves\u00a0and\u00a0enjoying\u00a0their success. It\u00a0was\u00a0because\u00a0of\u00a0Jon\u00a0that\u00a0we discovered the\u00a0focus\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0film – “redefining\u00a0your definition\u00a0of\u00a0success” – and\u00a0our\u00a0title\u00a0as one day\u00a0after\u00a0reviewing\u00a0a\u00a0very\u00a0early\u00a0promo\u00a0edit he\u00a0said\u00a0“Yeah, we\u00a0were\u00a0all\u00a0in\u00a0danger\u00a0of\u00a0being\u00a0discovered”. \u00a0How\u00a0I\u00a0wish\u00a0cameras were\u00a0rolling!<\/p>\n

Jon was our 3rd interview and because of Tom, Tim and Jon plus meetings and emails with hundreds of people our interview list was over 125 people long! With each interview requiring an average of 10 hours worth of time including planning, coordinating a professional crew, doing the interview, importing the footage into the computer, logging the footage and financing all of this out of pocket (and out of the love of the scene) we did have to limit the amount of interviews we did. We feel we got a cross section that helps to tell a story that viewers around the world can relate to.<\/p>\n

There are also people that did great interviews for us but perhaps said the same idea as many others that were already helping to tell another part of the story. We had to make the tough decision to not include someone in the feature and perhaps use their footage in the extras – \u00a0as documentary\u00a0filmmakers we need to be true to\u00a0the subject\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0film\u00a0and if\u00a0we\u00a0don’t\u00a0find\u00a0the\u00a0story\u00a0that\u00a0a\u00a0large\u00a0audience\u00a0can\u00a0connect\u00a0with\u00a0then no\u00a0one\u00a0outside\u00a0Portsmouth\u00a0will\u00a0see\u00a0our\u00a0film or hear your music and story. Michael, Karlina, Jon and I (the producers) want this film to reach far beyond the Seacoast and bring our passion to the world.<\/p>\n

We hope our film is the first step in bringing attention to this great music scene and that everyone feels how this story resonates as much as we do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
