He's Back, Haven't You Heard?

 

Ginger and Pickles Productions have secured exclusive rights for the production of a global feature-length documentary, The Unexpected Return of Mr Meek.
 

This flagship release focuses on the extraordinary life and musical legacy of 1960s producer Joe Meek, who crafted the sound of modern music - working with David Bowie, Jimmy Page, Richie Blackmore, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Marc Bolan and many more.

A number of high-profile contributors are already committed to appear in the production including Nick Moran (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Sylvia Massey (Producer: Prince, Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Nigel Godrich (Producer: Radiohead, Paul McCartney) and Trevor Horn CBE (Producer: Buggles, Ivor Novello Award).
 

Exceptionally, the narrative thread throughout the film will be provided by Joe Meek himself - brought "back to life" and given a voice in his own story for the first time - through the magic of deepfake AI.
 

Alongside this film, G&P will deliver a 5-part docuseries for streaming - exploring the themes of Joe's life in greater detail, including the (criminalised) homosexual experience of the 1960s, his incredible home-grown recording techniques, and the dark underbelly of "swinging sixties" London.
 

In addition, G&P will bring contemporary A-list music stars into the studio to create brand new songs using never-released Joe Meek instrumental material from the 1960s. As well as providing a central part of the main documentary, this unique past-meets-present collaboration will produce an original soundtrack album and a series of music videos - creating compelling viewing for a global, multi-generational audience.
 

The box office and streaming revenues from this highly innovative, multi-faceted project will provide the launchpad to develop a wider slate of projects currently in gestation.
