MOTHERS. The Movie
Hi,
My name is Larry and I'm a West Midlands based screenwriter - and my secret ambition is to bring Mothers to the big screen! The world needs to know the part Mothers played in rock n'roll history.
I didn't ever go myself - too young and not local enough - but I first heard about it a year or so ago and, fascinated, started digging around. This led me to Kevin Duffy and his book - and an invitation to attend the Mothers Reunion on Sat 21st (which was excellent BTW).
I met a few 'faces' there and am in contact with them - but would love to hear from more people. More specifically, I would love to talk to people involved in the running of the club. I will need lots of 'members' stories later - but for the time being I'm looking for a information about how it worked, the story of it's beginning and, sadly, it's ending.
Because whilst the facts (and the gig list) speak for themselves - a film needs a story - a backbone to 'hang' these facts on. Sometimes this involves a 'fictional' central character, ideally it's based on a real person.
Inevitably there is always a slight 'Hollywood-isation' of things - but by keeping this a British film, with British money behind it, we can keep it real.
So - if you think you can help, get in touch. I can be reached by email through this message board, or you can reply directly here.
Thanks for reading and see you at the Oscars(!!!!)
