First debuting on MTV in February of 1983, this iconic
profile piece by then first-time, now legendary director Cameron Crowe (writer & director of Jerry
Maguire, Almost Famous) has become a cult classic for Petty fans, only
having aired once more on MTV before becoming inaccessible to most.
MTV at this time was a relatively new network and had become
instrumental in shaping music culture, being THE place for music and launching
music videos. The film includes the full music video of YOU GOT LUCKY from the
album LONG AFTER DARK - a pioneering video directed by Jim Lenahan, which had a
futuristic style and played more like a short film. This profile piece also
inspired scenes from the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap by Rob
Reiner.
Featuring interviews, documentary band footage, and on stage and
concert segments ranging from 1976-1983, the film will be accompanied by an
introduction by Cameron Crowe alongside further interviews and additional
content captured by the director. See this
iconic film in cinemas for the very first time! (1983/2024, 85 mins, Dir.
Cameron Crowe)
