The film is inspired by the life of director and former writer for Rolling Stone and takes place in the time of Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, and other greats. It’s a coming-of-age film that tells the story of music-obsessed 15-year-old William Miller. William fakes his age and convinces the famed magazine to take him on as a writer, all in the pursuit of his passion for music.
In his final interview, William Miller asks: “So Russell…what do you love about music?”
Russell Hammond responds: “To begin with, everything.”
Who can forget the most emotional scene in the movie?
Set to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer,” the entire crew on the tour bus begins to sing. You feel the hope, the pain, the frenetic energy of the different characters all coalescing into this one moment. “I have to go home” William says to Penny Lane… she responds, “You are home.”
Stories like Almost Famous keep me coming back again and again. Even with thousands of movies and streaming options today, it holds a special place in my heart.
So how do movies come together? It’s similar to building a company in many ways.
I’ll be sharing each of these phases for Marco in the coming posts!
