Enter Steve Parsons and Chris Spedding, the dynamic rock duo steering this narrative. Parsons harks back to a time when rock wasn't solely about the music, but also the attitude, the persona, and those introspective moments. Conversely, Spedding serves as the anchor, grounding the story with his unwavering passion and love for the genre.

Despite an obvious budgetary constraint, the film's ambition never wavers. Seamlessly integrating locales such as Berlin, Tokyo, and London, these cities become more than just scenic backdrops—they're woven into the very fabric of the narrative.

At the helm of this ambitious project are Steve Parsons and Anke Trojan. Parsons' roles in the film are a testament to his versatility, akin to a multitasking entrepreneur, deftly juggling multiple responsibilities. Their narrative salutes Sharks, the band overshadowed by unfortunate marketing missteps in the '70s.

A standout feature remains the undying commitment of fan Toshio to Chris Spedding. With each upload, Toshio isn’t merely chronicling performances; he's preserving a treasured era of rock, likely striking a chord with a passionate segment of aficionados.
