WHAT: BOOM: A Film About the Sonics is the award-winning documentary debut of filmmaker Jordan Albertsen. It makes its Southern California premiere at the 20th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival.
BOOM: A Film About the Sonics tells the untold story of one of rock 'n' roll's wildest and most influential bands, The Sonics. For the first time ever, all five original members of the band tell the story of how it all went down, from beginning to end. 'Boom' takes a deep dive, exploring how a relatively unknown band from the Pacific Northwest became a worldwide phenomenon 50-years after their heyday, and in doing so, shaped music for decades to come (whether it was apparent at the time or not). Featuring interviews with homegrown heroes and breakthrough artists alike, Pearl Jam, The Sex Pistols, Heart, Mudhoney, and many, many more.
