Synopsis

Not On the Heep: The Heavy Metal Saga of Lee Kerslake

At Heavy Metal’s dawn, the sun rose to the beat of Lee Kerslake’s powerhouse drumming. Through a career of 50 years and 60 million albums sold, he became a legend. Now he must face the end of his days. He reconnects with lifelong pals from Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden, and performs one last time with the band he created, Uriah Heep.

On the Impossibility of an Homage

Given a portrait, who is responsible for the image we see, the painter or the subject? Ion used to be a a rockstar of Ballet in Communist Romania. When we first discussed the possibility of a portrait, Ion was initially thrilled. He’d been dreaming that someday there’d be a film about him. But during the filmmaking process Ion finds it hard to let go.
