   A DETROIT THING's Blurbs
About me:

"I am not saying all this is true but it is the way I remember it . . ." proclaims Anthony Brancaleone (writer/director) as he winds his audience through the real life fairytale of working bands in the blue-collar decadence of detroit. The film follows the parallel lives of several musicians, including Kid Rock and the Funky Daddy (Howling Diablos), as they gig their way to the top of the local rock scene. Using the romantic grit of the city streets, Brancaleone explores the difficulties of pursuing rock and roll dreams while considering what these impassioned artists stand to lose by following them. When the labels come looking for "the next big thing" they bring with them not only the answer to these dreams but a reminder: For every band to get "signed" there are a thousand who won't . . .

From the street to the dotted line it ain't nothin' but A DETROIT THING -

Who I'd like to meet:

"An HONEST-TO-GOD documentary about the life of music in Detroit!"
- Elmore Leonard (author)

"Captures like no other film a city that refuses to forget it’s golden age."
- Larry Baranski (DFT)

"Portrays the struggles and the triumphs of musicians against a backdrop of hopelessness."
- Vinnie Dombrowski (sponge/crud)

"A GRITTY, EMOTIONAL and BRILLIANT documentary . . ."
- Martin Ban Dyke (WQKL-FM)

"ABSOLUTELY captures everything good and bad about the ’SCENE’ in one fell swoop"
- Corey Hall (METRO TIMES)
