TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Some parts of the documentary were shot on an iPhone App called 8mm Vintage Camera after the producers ran out of film for an expensive real 8mm camera. The app cost only £1.49/$1.99. Director Malik Bendjelloul was cash strapped from making the documentary.

Director Malik Bendjelloul traced all the illustrations on oven paper as a mock up for the 3D animations he never could afford to have made. Thus the oven paper illustrations made it to the final cut.

Only film directed by Malik Bendjelloul.

A television documentary, entitled "Dead Men Don't Tour" (based on Rodriguez's tour of South Africa), is acknowledged in the film's credits.

Popular Dialogues

"Rodriguez: Thanks for keeping me alive!"

"Rick Emmerson: He had this kind of magical quality that all the genuine poets and artists have: to elevate things. To get above the mundane, the prosaic. All the bullshit. All the mediocrity that's everywhere. The artist, the artist is the pioneer."
