Edgeplay chronicles the history of the all-teenage-girl rock band The Runaways, whose members included future rock stars Lita Ford and Joan Jett. The film premiered as part of filmmaker Allison Anders' 2004 "Don't Knock the Rock Film and Music Festival". Kim Fowley, the band's original manager, originally asked for $10,000 appearance fee in order to appear in the film, but eventually agreed to appear for free if he could sing his answers to questions, with a guitarist accompanying him. Vicki Blue agreed and this is how his appearance was originally shot. However, he then informed her that each of his answers was a song that would require a separate license. Fowley was shooting a segment for VH1 at about that time, so Blue sent her questions to the VH1 folks, who agreed to let her use their footage. The film ultimately casts blame on Fowley for the Runaways' breakup. Conspicuously absent from the film was Jett, who refused to participate in interviews or allow any of her music to be used, and as Jett wrote or co-wrote most of the Runaways music, very few of the band's songs were able to be used on the soundtrack, which had to feature musical contributions mostly performed by Ford or Suzi Quatro. In a 2006 interview with the Montreal Mirror, Jett said: "To me, the Runaways is my baby, so you have to understand my perspective. If there's gonna be a Runaways movie, it should be about what we accomplished, the tours we did, the bands we played with, the people we inspired. I'm not gonna participate in a Jerry Springer fest, bottom line. With any band, you're gonna have interpersonal conflicts, but if that's what they thought the Runaways were about—about breaking a bass or putting on make-up—well, it's very disappointing. Very, very disappointing. I wanted nothing to do with it because that's not the band I was in. [The film] was a totally different take on what went down." Shortly after the film was released, Sandy West, the band's drummer was diagnosed with cancer. She died on October 21, 2006. (en) Edgeplay: A Film about the Runaways es una película documental de 2004 dirigida y producida por Victory Tischler-Blue, bajista de la banda de rock The Runaways. Edgeplay narra la historia de dicha banda, conformada en su totalidad por mujeres y que contó entre sus filas con las reconocidas cantantes y guitarristas Lita Ford y Joan Jett. La película debutó en el 2004 en el festival "Don't Knock the Rock Film and Music". Kim Fowley, el mánager original de la banda, pidió una suma de diez mil dólares por aparecer en la cinta, pero finalmente accedió a aparecer de forma gratuita si podía cantar sus respuestas a las preguntas con un guitarrista acompañándolo. Vicki Blue estuvo de acuerdo y así es como se filmó originalmente la participación de Fowley en la cinta. Sin embargo, él le informó que cada una de sus respuestas era una canción que requeriría una licencia por separado. Fowley estaba filmando un segmento para VH1 en ese momento, por lo que Blue envió sus preguntas a la gente de VH1, los cuales le permitieron usar su material. (es) |
