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.

Sprout Wings and Fly

Set in the North Carolina Appalachians, Sprout Wings and Fly honors the fiddle playing of 82-year-old Tommy Jarrell of Toast, NC. Tommy was quirky, gregarious and generous, and this film shows him at his best, in fine fiddling form.
