- “There has yet to be a definitive, authorized documentary on the extraordinary life and work of Frank Zappa,” Winter said. “I am beyond thrilled to be embarking on this journey.
Our tale will be told primarily in Frank’s own words; he will be our guide through this journey.” Winter expects the doc to be finished in time for release in 2017.
“This is not an easy story to tell and we trust that Alex truly understands the complex and multi-faceted man that my father was,” Zappa’s son Ahmet Zappa said.
It seems to me that I've heard of this project for years. I think Alex Winter has been chasing this for a decade or more. I hope he gets it off the ground. Back in the early days of the Internet I stumbled across a dead webpage listing all the gear being sold at Frank Zappa's estate sale. It was like two years out of date but I still tried. They had like 2 CS-80s going for $600 each and an H949 for $150. I still regret not knowing about that when it mattered.
Found this with a quick google (poor video quality; I haven't watched it yet) :
ALEX WINTER OF ‘BILL & TED’ FAME
Why not of 'downloaded' or 'deep web' fame?
