ABOUT THE FILM: From such popular songs like “For What It’s Worth” and “Mr. Soul” (with Buffalo Springfield) to such hits as “My, My, Hey, Hey” “Heart of Gold” “Old Man” “Like a Hurricane” and “Cinnamon Girl” Neil Young has repeatedly proven why his musical talent is so popular with so many people. His instrumental, composing, and performing talents make compelling arguments as to why this compilation of performance clips of Young is a “must-see.” This show will include footage from 1970’s concerts, television appearances, and rare performance clips from Crosby Stills, Nash and Young. Don’t miss out!
ABOUT BILL SHELLEY: As a filmmaker, Bill Shelley has been shooting professionally since the 1970s when he captured on film and video bands such as Twisted Sister, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts playing in small bars before they became famous. Shelley later associated with rap group Public Enemy (PE), going on to direct a number of their videos and become an honorary member of PE’s African American Media Network cable television studio. Shelley Archives was started in 1985. After working with Readers Digest Entertainment in 1990, the company’s end product was nominated for an Emmy in 1993 for the three-part series “Legends of Comedy.” The program was broadcast on the Disney cable network and home video sales exceeded a record-breaking 1 million copies sold. Today the company has over 100,000 reels of original 35mm and 16mm films in its archives and over 10,000 hours of rare concerts, television shows, promos, interviews, out-takes and home movies from a wide-ranging variety of subjects. The company has licensed them to numerous documentary projects throughout the world. Preservation of films and music clips is a main focus of the organization, as well as the desire to compensate the artists.
