The DVD Club Pick:
It's All Gone Pete Tong
Michael Dowse, director of the award winning film IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG and cult classic Fubar, has just confirmed that he will join First Weekend Club members online to answer questions about the making of It’s All Gone Pete Tong and the journey of his career. Also joining us on line is the film's producer Elizabeth Yake.
It's All Gone Pete Tong is a comedy following the tragic life of legendary Frankie Wilde. The story takes us through Frankie's life from one of the best DJ's alive, through subsequent battle with a hearing disorder, culminating in his mysterious disappearance from the scene. A genius in his own right, he clawed his way to the top of the DJ ranks, now living the opulent life of a superstar, he resides in his 'trophy' villa in Ibiza with his 'trophy' wife. This is when tragedy hits. Born with a hearing disorder he is rapidly going deaf with only one functioning ear to complete the new Ibiza season. How is he doing behind the decks? Horrible. How is he doing in the studio where he produces his remixes? Frankie dives into a low period, struggling with deafness in utter depression. After a year of locking himself away he emerges on the other side with a fresh attitude towards his affliction. He accepts his deafness and learns to function without sound. Will Frankie make it back to the DJ booth? Will his new single be any good? Will he get back his opulent old life or does he even want it back? When you can't hear, things look very different.
