GET IT ALL OUT
“Get It All Out” is a transmedia music documentary about the life of the late John H. Creighton Jr. (1955-1985), the band Stick Against Stone, and the underground music scene of Pittsburgh, PA in the early 1980s.
A 2005 rediscovery of tapes from live performances of the original line-up of the band in 1982 sets producer/co-director Will Kreth (and former SAS soundman/manager) on a quest to find out “Who Was John Creighton?” – the charismatic and powerful voice that brought life to a sound seemingly lost to time.
30 years later, using transmedia concepts and practices to tell a compelling story across screens and live events – GET IT ALL OUT pushes the boundaries of traditional music documentaries with newly recorded music, a live 10+ member orchestra, an eBook, a remix contest, and a feature film – all part of the same narrative that speaks to the power of music to indelibly live in the heart and to connect us with something larger than ourselves.
