DIRECTOR/EDITOR/CO-CINEMATOGRAPHER
A film about our lost collective music experience told through the insane but true story of Rhino Records, the maverick store and label
Go to Rhino Records on Westwood Boulevard…” – Wild Man Fischer.
“Rhino Resurrected” is the iconoclastic story of a ramshackle little record store that became a hub of hardcore music misfits, a launching pad for influential music careers, and a groundbreaking and irreverent record label revered by music lovers worldwide. The inspiration for the film came when the founder of Rhino, Richard Foos, opened a “pop-up” record store that aimed to re-create the “Rhino” vibe and quickly turned into a celebration of and elegy for a music culture that’s all but lost. The film features killer live performances from Richard Thompson, Mike Watt, Peter Case, Little Willie G and thee Midnighters, Dr. Demento, Temple City Kazoo Orchestra and so much more – it’s a must see for any music fan!
