Kaplan expects there to be some musical release to accompany the film, but “we don’t want to just slap together another best of,” he says. “People are still engaged with the music.” Why is someone that age wearing a Sublime t-shirt? What is it about that music that still speaks to them?,” he says. “I was out with my son the other day and we bumped into college buddies of his and one was wearing a Sublime t-shirt. ![]() Though Nowell died before most college students were born, the band’s music has stood the test of time and has found a following among a younger generation, a point brought home to Guttentag just as he signed on to the project. There’s something very iconic and California about it, but their music reached the world.” “Plenty of music stays in its lane, but I think what Sublime does is they’re this brew of ska and punk and hip hop and reggae, which is extremely compelling. Guttentag calls himself a fan, though he never got to see the band live before Nowell’s passing. “I am excited to work with Bill Guttentag, as I am a big fan of his work as well.” It has been a long-time coming and now there are literally two more generations of fans who never had the opportunity to see us perform, or don’t know the whole story,” Gaugh said in a statement. “I can’t wait to hand deliver our story to our fans. At the end of the day, it’s the power of the story and the band’s music and its ability to connect with fans and transcend.” Plus, we’re going to take footage that folks may have seen before, but will look better just from the march of technology. Really good music films make you feel like you’re at the concert. “We’re hoping to harvest that footage and really put the viewer in the studio, in that time. The band members and Nowell’s estate have signed off on the project and have given Guttentag full access to Sublime’s archives, including rare music and unseen footage.Īdditionally, Guttentag says he has already started a social media campaign to find footage from fans and collectors that hasn’t been seen before. ![]() Their lives are ones of euphoria, demons and tragedy,” Guttentag says. “There are deep friendships within the band, but also demons within the band. The doc will weave together multiple story lines including the band’s beginnings, their music, their fans, the loss of Nowell, and the remaining members’ decision to carry on after a long hiatus. Though financing is in place, Kaplan said it was “too early to disclose.” The budget is between $2.5 million and $3 million. It took a year and a half to find the right director to tell Sublime’s story, says the band’s manager, Dave Kaplan, who, along with Sublime’s co-manager Scott Seine, Guttentag, attorney Peter Paterno, and Nayeema Raza, will produce the doc.
