Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the SOLD OUT WORLD PREMIERE of LOUDER THAN LOVE-The Grande Ballroom Story at the Detroit Institute of Arts/Film Theater
What an incredible year it has been!
17 Festivals & Exhibits…
SOLD OUT Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame & Musuem
“Best Documentary Award” Las Vegas Film Festival
2 SOLD OUT Screenings at Traverse City Film Festival
and so many,many more…
There is a long list of people, that without their help,this film would have not been such a huge success but at the very top of this list is my family-Sharri D’Annunzio,Victoria and Zackary
A very close second is Karl Rausch and his wonderful family.
The recognition that the film has gotten means very little without them. They not only believed in me and the film, but gave me never ending show of support and creativity that made this film what it has ultimately become…
An award winning documentary that has brought back memories for some & enlightened others on what I had thought was the “Greatest Untold Story in Rock and Roll History”

Here is the trailer that started all this madness…

“My vote for the best doc in competition went to Louder Than Love: The Story of the Grande Ballroom (Wednesday, 10:45 p.m., CineBistro Hyde Park). A eulogy for a building that has long since fallen into complete disrepair, Louder Than Love is actually a celebration of the music of the late 1960s, a time when rock was coming of age and the British invasion was in full effect. Detroit’s Grande (pronounced “Grand-E”) Ballroom served hard-charging Rock ’n’ Roll to ravenous crowds. Sex was everywhere (there were mattresses hidden on catwalks and below the stage in case the mood stuck — which it often did), as was the spirit of freedom and a “we’re all in this together vibe” that still comes across as special all these years later. (If I had a time machine, I would spend years at the Grande.) Featuring extensive interviews with The MC5 (who basically called the place home), Alice Cooper, Roger Daltrey (The Who debuted Tommy at the Grande) and many more, Louder Than Love is endlessly fascinating, expertly made and completely enjoyable.”

A very big THANK YOU to the entire Gasparilla Film Festival Staff & Board of Directors for such a well organized and wonderfully entertaining festival!! It was a real pleasure to be part of it and to be included with such other great films was truly an amazing experience!!

Good Luck with the rest of the festival!!!
