I've seen it three times, and I will see it again when it is released. It is a knockout. Denny Tedesco has been working on this project for almost twenty years, and we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Just watching Carol Kaye play the walking bass line for "These Boots Are Made for Walkin" is worth the price of admission. There are musical giants in this film, some you'll recognize, and many you will not. The biggest surprise to me is that there is enough footage of sessions to make the film. The story of the film is at the link.

Here is an email from Denny Tedesco. Note the zip code link - click on the link and enter your zip code to have Denny pass on requests to Magnolia Pictures to show the film in your town.

Cheers,

Dear Wrecking Crew Family and Friends,

Happy Happy New Year!!

I know you've all been waiting patiently for the news of the Wrecking Crew Release. We are proud to announce that Magnolia Pictures has picked up the film for distribution.

Magnolia will release the film as a limited theatrical release and VOD (Video on Demand) at the same time. As you can see, Magnolia has produced the newest poster for the film (at right). You should also check out the newest cut of the trailer.

Anyone that is receiving this email made this all happen. If you donated, saw the film, bought merchandise, told someone about the film or just signed on for info; that made the difference. We showed them that there is an audience for this film. It took years, but we all did it.

After 18 years, the film will finally be seen to a wider audience. On February 20th, the film will be open at the Bloor Cinema Theater Toronto, Canada.

On March 13th, we will be opening in New York at the IFC Center in New York and in Los Angeles at the NUART Theater.

Other theaters will be announced as soon as they are booked.

The Kickstarter DVDs and downloads will be sent soon after the theatrical release runs its course. As I said to many of you before, I apologize for the wait and still can't figure out why I gave myself a 6 month window to deliver the DVDs. I'm still finishing up the last paperwork.

The theatrical release by a company like Magnolia is a thrill for a filmmaker. Even though the film will live on DVD and digitally forever, there is still that thrill of seeing the film with an audience or group. Ask anyone that has seen the film.

I'm conducting a contest for those who want to see the film in their local theater. My goal is to show Magnolia where our audiences are. You don't have to be a big city for us to bring the film to you.

Just give us your zip code and email and we will push for a screening in your hometown. If your town is chosen we will randomly pick 2 tickets for opening at that theater. Follow this link, and enter your zip code in the body of the email message: Click Here and Give Us your Zip Code

At right [link] is our latest and last out take before the DVD is released.

This is the story of the making of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night," as told by three of the musicians that were there that day -- Hal Blaine, Michel Rubini, and Jim Horn.

Now lets blow them away and spread the word.

Take care and happy and healthy New Year.
Denny Tedesco
