Put the final touches to our Kasabian doc at Glastonbury this weekend as the Leicester boys celebrated three weeks at No 1 with a slot as special guests to Bruce Springsteen on the mainstage. The hour long programme txs tomorrow night, Tues June 30th, on BBC R1. The doc has taken a year to make and goes behind the scenes and under the skin of the new record.
Billy on Billie
Just back from Santa Monica where we recorded Billy Crystal's voiceover for our forthcoming Billie Holiday doc. The programme txs on BBC R2 on July 14th to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Billie's death. Billy Crystal's Uncle Milt ran Commodore Records and released many of Lady Day's finest records, including 'Strange Fruit'.It turns out Ms Holiday took 'Mr Billy' to the cinema for the very first time at the age of six!
An Audience With Mr Nice
Pleased to announce a new bi-media project with the BBC on one of our favourite writers and raconteurs, Howard Marks. Document has been asked to make a half hour TV special for BBC1 and an accompanying hour long radio version on the man we know and love as Mr Nice. Both docs will surface early next year when the film of the book hits the silver screen with Rhys Ifans in the lead role. The movie also stars David Thewlis and Chloe Sevigny.
Leave Them All Behind
Creation film into Month 9. Almost there with the interviews. In cinemas November. Millions of sales, near bankruptcy, pills, thrills, spats, twats, success, excess, pick me ups, breakdowns and of course some of THE defining music of the late twentieth century, this is the definitive and fully authorised story of the UK’s most inspired and dissolute label.

Tonight. Franz Ferdinand.
Franz Ferdinand unveiled their new album, 'Tonight Franz Ferdinand' exclusively live at the Kesselhaus, Berlin. The Document cameras were in tow and the end product is now available to view at www.babelgum.com. The gig's accompanied by a brief documentary with the band in Glasgow which gets under the skin of the new album whilst delving into their fabulous beginnings. 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand' was released on Mon Jan 26th.
The Devil's Arse
We had the great pleasure of filming Richard Hawley's Christmas shindig in a cave in Derbyshire. The venue, formerly known as the Peak Cavern, has reverted to its original moniker -the Devil's Arse! The gig was very special indeed featuring a neat blend of the last two albums with a couple of inspired covers thrown in. For a taste feel free to
