 BOHEMIA SERVES UP

    MEAL TICKETS     

Meal Ticket
Meal Tickets

In 2005, ex-Libertines manager, Dave Kavanagh, took Perth band, "The Screwtop Detonators", on a 30-day tour across the United States of America. His mission: Turn them into rock stars. This screening is an 80 minute edit of the tour that saw relationships tested, ambitions tempered and abused roadies seek the ultimate revenge.

 

Director / Producer, Mat de Koning, who was recently awarded the Bendigo Bank - Young Filmmaker of the year at the 24th WA Screen Awards, is hosting this special screening to give audiences an all access pass to the inner workings of a rock tour.  

 

ALL FUNDS RAISED will be used to help Mat  get back to LA, to catch up with some of the characters and record the final chapter in this 7 year film project, that is to become the feature length doco, MEAL TICKETS.
