LOUDER THAN LOVE ROCKS TAMPA BAY/GASPARILLA FILM FESTIVAL !!!

Tampa Bay was ready and waiting for LOUDER THAN LOVE-the Grande Ballroom Story. We were welcomed with another SOLD OUT SCREENING and a very lively Q & A session that followed the film. Check out what Creative Loafing had to say about LOUDER THAN LOVE-the Grande Ballroom Story.

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!!

Full disclosure: I’m serving as a judge for Gasparilla’s documentary competition and firmly recommend Wednesday’s 10:35 p.m. Florida premiere of Louder Than Love. Tony D’Annunzio’s movie chronicles the historic Grande ballroom in Detroit where rock and roll royalty kicked out the jams in the late 1960’s. Plus you get the chance to hear Ted Nugent making sense for a change.
