Zappa is set to hit select theaters for a one-night-only special event on November 23 followed by a digital and VOD release on November 27.
With unfettered access to the Zappa family trust and all archival footage, Zappa explores the private life behind the mammoth musical career that never shied away from the political turbulence of its time.
Alex Winter’s assembly features appearances by Frank’s widow Gail Zappa and several of Frank’s musical collaborators including Mike Keneally, Ian Underwood, Steve Vai, Pamela Des Barres, Bunk Gardner, David Harrington, Scott Thunes, Ruth Underwood, Ray White and others.
First and foremost, I wanted to make a very human, universal cinematic experience about an extraordinary individual.
