What's NEW in Production

THE BIG BEAT: THE STORY OF FATS DOMINO AND DAVE BARTHOLOMEW
(working title)

Fats Domino, Dave Bartholomew, Bernard Dunn, Sonny Jones & Billy Diamond - 1955

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, we are finally in the editing phase of our documentary THE BIG BEAT: THE STORY OF FATS DOMINO AND DAVE BARTHOLOMEW

The documentary will feature unseen archival footage from the Historic Films vaults as well as interviews with both Fats Domino, Dave Bartholomew and many others who were integral to their career.

The story will begin in 1920 Louisiana, head to New Orleans and end in 1962 at the peak of Fats Domino's recording career...a career that by 1962 was responsible for the sale of 65,000,000 Fats Domino records.

Many thanks to all of you who "kicked" in to help us complete this important documentary.

What's NEW in Research

WITHOUT A NET
(working title)

Jerry Garcia - Festival Express - 1970

Historic Films is heading the research and clearance team on the authorized and definitive GRATEFUL DEAD documentary slated for release in early 2015. The production is already shaping up to be one of the music documentary highlights of the decade. We will keep you posted on its progress!
