SHANE WEST of E.R. fame portrays The Germs frontman, who died of a heroin overdose. DAVID BOWIE was the template for Darby's ambition, he was intrigued chiefly with the lyrical style of DB's work. Writer-director Grossman struggled for 15 years to bring this project to fruition. The final key element for the movie came when they wrote a letter to DAVID BOWIE and convinced him to license his epochal FIVE YEARS and ROCK N ROLL SUICIDE to the production.

Also released last month is the independent documentary GROUP MADNESS THE MAKING OF YELLOWBEARD directed by Michael Mileham and Phil Schuman. The two were looking to make a behind the scenes film with a "hook". The filmmakers negotiated unprecedented terms that allowed complete access to the stars anywhere anytime and first class accommodations with the stars. What happened was an amazing intimacy with the stars resulting in a remarkable film.
