On a road trip through an alternate universe, where Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison never died, Almost Almost Famous explores the lives of three of the world’s top tribute artists, the cost of borrowed fame and the risk of getting ‘lost in the act’.
The newest offering from award-winning production company Merit Motion Pictures and veteran director Barry Lank, Almost Almost Famous takes us on a musical ride, following the “Class of ‘59” tour across Canada. Led by intrepid road manager Marty Kramer, the group features Texas rockabilly musician Lance Lipinsky as Jerry Lee Lewis, Las Vegas-based R & B singer Bobby Brooks as Jackie Wilson and the “Elvis from Orlando”, Ted Torres.
Following the screening, CBC Radio One host Tom Harrington will host an interactive discussion with stars from the film.
