“Turn It Up!” is an indie film about guitars and the guitarists who obsessively love them. The film is by Robert Radler and Doug Forbes who have been working on this project over the last five years. It’s obviously a labor of love and looks really interesting.
Hosted by actor Kevin Bacon, TURN IT UP! includes interviews and performances with Les Paul, Slash, Robby Krieger (the Doors), Paul Stanley (KISS), Carl Verheyen (Supertramp), Rick Vito (Fleetwood Mac), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Albert Lee, Steve Lukather (Toto), and the legendary B.B. King–plus many more. The film traces the history and development of this uniquely American instrument. We’ll meet players and dedicated guitar-nuts from all walks of life, who share their personal passion for the electric guitar.
The film is just about done, but needs funding to cover the final licensing, mixing and color correction. So they need the help of all those guitar enthusiasts out there to get it finished. They’re using the crowdfundng site -Indiegogo, which is similar to kickstarter. And there are the usual different levels of perks based on the amount you contribute.
