Wire are crowdfunding a documentary about Wire.

QuotePeople In A Film

Now for the first time Wire are collaborating on a film about themselves and their work.  This film aims to express the very essence of Wire – the personalities, their music, their worldview, their history and their future.

This is a film which will go beyond the over-familiar conventions of the  standard music documentary.   Wire are working with seasoned director and producer Malcolm Boyle and award winning writer and producer Graham Duff, to create a film that has the humour, the unpredictability, the surrealist edge and creative agility of a Wire song.

The name of this documentary is People In A Film.

Get Involved

You can help make this documentary about this most unique and influential of British bands happen.

Initial shooting has already started, capturing Wire in the legendary Rockfield Studios recording a new album, as well as extensive in-depth interviews with Colin Newman, Graham Lewis, Robert Grey, Matt Simms and Bruce Gilbert.  We've also shot footage of a special one off event which reunited Wire's original line-up.

We are now seeking supporters to help us complete the next stage of the film.  We initially need financial support for the researching and sourcing of archive materials, as well shooting further interviews with key players in the Wire story. The budget for this is £60, 000.

Once this next stage has been completed, we will then seek final funding from funding bodies and other sources to complete the final edit and dubbing theatre mix, and cover international music, still and film property clearances.

We are optimistic that this crowdfunding campaign will draw together the international community of Wire fans, music documentary viewers and lovers of music and cutting-edge culture who would be fascinated to see inside a group of artists who continue to leave such a distinctive mark on modern music and culture.

There are a range of donation options on offer.  All and any help is welcome.  If you're feeling generous, you can even have your name on the credits!

Donate today and bring People In A Film closer to completion.

I hope this does get funded (and as they're 12% there after four hours, it seems reasonably likely), as they all seem like fascinating and exceptionally entertaining people, and their career has been one of the most continually surprising of any I've followed.

Bold enough move really. A band like Wire will not be served by a standard music doc and most attempts at more experimental ones are typically obnoxious as fuck.
