The award-winning documentary on the lost Memphis powerpop artist, Van Duren. From the ashes of Big Star in Memphis, Duren played in bands with Jody Stephens and Chris Bell, before being led to New Haven by manager Andrew Loog Oldham of the Rolling Stones. Forty years later, two Australians discover his music and on a drunken promise, embark on an amazing journey to make a film about the artist touted as 'the next Paul McCartney.₂ There's only one catch - Wade and Greg have never made a movie before, so it's learning as they go. Their quest leads them to con men, rock stars, and Scientologists, as they uncover the dark secrets that kept Duren's second album from ever being released.
