Scratchdog Productions:

I like to make little lo-fi movies...

...and there was this one day that I decided it was highly wasteful leaving thirty reels of backstage Dumdums footage lying around with no purpose. Thus ensued a year and a half of grabbing an hour here or there and much later nights than I expected to have working out how to make something coherent out of this mess of tape. It wasn’t easy at all (but then nothing associated with the DumDums ever happened easily so I’m not sure why I thought this would be any different!)

Once I finished the film I had to decide what purpose it served and I hadn’t really thought about that. I had loosely considered it as purely a gift for a couple of friends, something to show the grandchildren. However after discussions with James I realised that there would be people out there who would actually like to see this film and may even enjoy it ?. So… here it is! I am hoping that this film will not just become a retelling of a rock and roll story (there are millions of better ones out there already) but somehow becomes the retelling of a rock and roll story that shows how the DumDums, even in their absence as a functioning band, still have the ability to affect peoples lives.
