"Athens Burning" Trailer from SphereVibe Films on Vimeo.
ATHENS BURNING, LLC was formed for the production of the film "Athens Burning ," a comprehensive High Production Value HD Video Documentary of approximately 100 minutes centered around the history of the historic Georgia Theatre; also thoroughly covering the history of Athens Music Scene from the 1970's until present, particularly with regard to links to the Georgia Theatre. The film opens with the burning of the Theater in summer, 2009 and then starts over chronologically from the 1970s through the rebuilding of the Georgia Theatre and its new opening. The film features notable artists who performed at the venue over the years, the players in the music scene and at the theater over the decades, the fire, the fundraising such as benefit shows and community efforts, and the rebuilding.
Efforts will be made to be inclusive of artists and the other players both in direct relation to the Georgia Theatre and also in more general regard to in the Athens Music Scene. The film will highlight acts that performed at the Georgia Theatre on a regular basis and otherwise shaped the Athens Music Scene with concert footage and interviews in a quick paced format. Footage will include live band performances in small segments (not a concert film) as well as numerous interviews, stock footage, footage available from public sources, news sources, and the bands themselves, as well as from previous documentaries, and historical archival films. The scheduled release is after the completion of the rebuilding efforts in early 2011.
Athens Burning has secured SphereVibe Films to produce the film, which production includes the filing, post production, legal, administrative, and managerial work. The Georgia Theatre itself has a stake in the venture such that the movie has complete Georgia Theatre access, endorsement, and cooperation, and will actively help raise funds for the rebuilding and viability of the Theatre.
