Telstar: The Joe Meek Story
“Hit after hit... Someone's bound to get hurt.”
DramaMusic
Set against a backdrop of early '60s London, Telstar is the story of the world's first independent record producer, Joe Meek. A maverick genius who enjoyed phenomenal success with Telstar – the biggest selling record of it's time – before bad luck, depression, heartbreak and paranoia led to his downfall.
VIBE
A bittersweet dive into the dizzying heights and crushing lows of a pop visionary. It's a vibrant, yet ultimately tragic, look at the price of genius in swinging London, filled with catchy tunes and a haunting sense of impending doom.
