‘The Seeding’ Director Barnaby Clay on How to Jump From Short Films to Features — Horror Film School
Barnaby Clay is a true Renaissance man.
Having directed short films, music videos for artists ranging from David Bowie to Rihanna, a feature-length documentary on photographer Mick Rock, and even launched a visual art installation with Danger Mouse and his wife, Yeah Yeah Yeahs rocker Karen O, he is no stranger to expanding his creativity into different mediums.
Yet his newest frontier is feature-length narrative filmmaking, and his debut, the horror film “The Seeding,” expands on the striking imagery of his past work. The plot follows a man (Scott Haze) trapped in the desert, being taken care of by a mysterious woman (Kate Lyn Sheil), who may have an insidious agenda for keeping him safe from the roving gang of teens that are trapping him there.
The gorgeous and claustrophobic desert setting is the movie’s key special effect, as Clay keeps things bleak due to the harsh environment and...

In the 1980s and early 90s, the King’s Cross picture house attracted all manner of freaks, geeks, itinerants and outcasts to its cult movie all-nighters. The makers of a new documentary discuss its rise, fall, and quite heroic legacy
“It was like joining a club,” says the director John Waters. “A very secret club, like a biker gang or something. It’s like they were a country club for criminals and lunatics and people that were high.”
As celebrated by Jane Giles and Ali Catterall’s new documentary, Scala!!!

Photographer Mick Rock, who died last November at 72, was often dubbed “The Man Who Shot the Seventies,” and with good reason; he was long associated with iconic images of David Bowie, Queen and Lou Reed. But Rock was drawn to the good, the bad, and the freaky throughout his career, as a forthcoming collection of his work makes vividly clear. “I remind people that I don’t want to be tagged as some creature from the Seventies,” Rock once tweeted. “That’s important to me.”

The brother of Drakeo the Ruler has slammed the Recording Academy for omitting the late rapper from its In Memoriam segment during the 2022 Grammys. The rapper, born Darrell Caldwell, was stabbed to death in December 2021 at the age of 28 following an altercation near Los Angeles’ Once Upon a Time in L.A. concert.

Miley Cyrus has answered fans’ prayers and released “Edge of Midnight (Midnight Sky Remix),” a mashup of her new single “Midnight Sky” and Stevie Nicks’ spiritual predecessor, “Edge of Seventeen.”
Unsurprisingly, Cyrus’ synth-pop banger blends perfectly with Nicks’ 1982 hit. The two singers trade off verses from both songs, and it’s difficult to tell exactly what was recorded in 2020 or nearly 40 years ago. If her recent marathon of covers weren’t enough, “Edge of Midnight” is further proof that Cyrus is in her element when calling back to classic rock legends.

Photographer Mick Rock makes a terrific subject in this documentary about the doyen of rock music snappers
If you called up central casting and asked for the archetypal hedonistic drug-guzzling 1970s music photographer, the chances are you would get someone who looked a lot like Mick Rock. All attenuated, gangly limbs, anarchic hair and perma-grafted sunglasses, this is the man who, through his celebrated shots of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, Queen and Debbie Harry – the list seems endless – just about single-handedly shaped the visual history of the music of the 70s and 80s. But what’s astonishing is not so much the sheer volume of Rock’s work and his Zelig-like ability to pop up on the periphery of every happening scene in the 70s; it’s how much he remembers, despite a narcotics consumption that turned his body into a chemical disaster area to rival Bhopal.

Photographer Mick Rock was a friend to the stars – David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop among them – and the engaging chronicler of an era
There is a complex algorithm that applies to bio-documentaries about photographers. It has to do with the ratio to which the work itself is compelling and important on strictly aesthetic grounds in relation to how interesting the artist is, squared by the significance of his or her subject matter over the long haul. Therefore, any photography-centred movie will be intrinsically more interesting if the snapper specialised in portraits and snaps of famous people, which means this cinematic tribute to Mick Rock has a built-in advantage from the off.

Legendary glam/punk photographer Mick Rock is a primary player in music/ rock history, having provided some of the most iconic rock imagery to grace the careers and album covers of artists like Bowie, Blondie, Lou Reed, Queen and Iggy Pop.
Rock captured key moments from classic concerts including that iconic shot of Bowie performing fellatio on Mick Ronson’s guitar during the Ziggy Stardust era. He also designed the album covers of Bowie’s Space Oddity, Lou Reed’s Transformer, Iggy and The Stooges’ Raw Power and directed many of Bowie’s music videos.
Rock’s unruly work Mo was also a lifestyle choice. Integrating hard partying and meditation into his photography/practice by saturating himself in the event he was covering instead of adopting the role of a passive observer, yet Rock provided some outstanding imagery as a result.

Picture the 1970s in your head, and chances are a Mick Rock image has come to mind. David Bowie managing to be the sexiest man alive despite a red mullet, a business suit and a saxophone? That’s Mick Rock. Topless Iggy Pop bending over backwards in a moment of rock ’n’ roll abandonment? Mick Rock. Debbie Harry looking like the girl next door (if you live next door to CBGBs circa 1974)? That too was done by certain Mr Michael David Rock. Yes, Rock is his real last name.
With that sort of pedigree, ‘Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock’, a new documentary on Rock’s life, would have probably got four stars if it had just been a few of those pictures on the big screen alongside a few anecdotes about doing drugs with David Bowie.

Although he might not fancy himself a big reader, there’s nothing more thoughtful, or personal, than a book picked just for him.

Many refer to photographer Mick Rock by his modern media tag, ‘the man who shot the 70s’. It would be easy for the sharp-eyed artist, who was long ago taken under the wings of modern heroes like Syd Barrett, David Bowie, Lou Reed and then some, to reject the copy as reductive and annoying, but as Rock says in Barnaby Clay's new documentary, Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock, which takes Rock for its subject, Mick’s just glad to be thought of in a positive light at all. Rock is far cooler than this hook and he's led a career that no catchphrase can honor. Luckily, Clay’s new film, which opened in Los Angeles and New York last Friday, in addition to on-demand availability, goes a...

David Bowie created his ethereal, iconic Ziggy Stardust look in 1972, which was around the time renowned rock music photographer Mick Rock first began photographing the late idol. Rock—who also shot such rock luminaries as Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Debbie Harry—carefully documented Bowie’s spaceman alter ego, helping to save the breathtaking images for posterity. “The Man Who Shot the Seventies” recently teamed up with Magnolia Pictures on Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra Of Rock, a documentary that catalogs many of the signature looks Rock has captured over the years. The A.V. Club is premiering this exclusive clip from the documentary, which was released on April 7, below.
In the clip, Rock describes Bowie’s prepossessing nature, which led him to recognize early on how keen the photographer’s eye was. The rock star’s manager told him, “David says that you see him the way he ...

There are few words that can kill a film quicker than cute – just say to yourself, "Gosh, what a cute movie that was," and you can practically feel the inside of your mouth lined with a thin, granular film of Nutra-Sweet. It's one thing, of course, to plunk down cash to watch grumpy old coots and/or kids say the darnedest things, or bask in the cinematic equivalent of a puppy licking a baby's head. We, too, have done this. We don't judge you. Those things are a shucks-and-awww attack,...

What makes a truly remarkable non-fiction motion picture? Is it a captivating central figure? Is it the density with which the filmmaker delves into the picture’s biographical or sociological center? Or is it simply the filmmaker’s ability to make an engaging film aesthetically?
That’s the root question when discussing the latest film from director Barnaby Clay, entitled Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock.
The Rock in the film’s title isn’t so much rock and roll music, although that’s clearly a major player within the film. Instead Clay’s picture shines a light on an unsung icon with quite an interesting cross-sectional view of music history. A career spanning pre-glam psychedelica all the way into the new millennium, photographer Mick Rock has lensed artists like David Bowie and Queen, all while evolving into a poet of sorts. If you want a true look at the history of popular rock music,...

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
Three New Movies May Have Trouble Making Much of a Mark
After a couple impressive March weekends with one new box office record, and a couple impressive openings, we’re now into April, and of the new movies, there just doesn’t seem like anything can defeat last week’s powerful duo of DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby--which exceeded all predictions with $49 million, taking the top spot from Beauty and the Beast. Ghost in the Shell didn’t even do as well as I thought it may, opening with just $19 million, those late reviews helping to kill its weekend.

Nearly 50 years ago, Mick Rock conducted one of his first photo sessions with former Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett. Within a couple of years, he was documenting the advent of glam rock, and shooting iconic portraits of David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop – including the dynamic cover shots that graces Transformer and Raw Power LPs, respectively. Over the years, he's shot Queen, Blondie, Mötley Crüe, the Sex Pistols, Snoop Dogg, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and many others, as well as publishing several books that demonstrate why he has one...

If the central figure in Barnaby Clay’s documentary didn’t exist, rock ‘n’ roll would have had to invent him. He’s Mick Rock, who possesses the perfect name (and it’s real!) for his chosen profession: music photographer. Although casual fans may not have heard of him, Rock is a pop music legend, having photographed such iconic album covers as Lou Reed’s Transformer, Iggy and the Stooges’ Raw Power, and Queen’s Queen II among countless others. The quirkily titled Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock relates the colorful story of the now 69-year-old photographer’s life, including his nearly dying from a series...

Legendary music photographer Mick Rock is the first to admit that he may have mistaken his surname for his destiny — or maybe it’s that his surname simply was his destiny. Of course, it wouldn’t have meant very much had he been born in another time, or even in another place, but that wasn’t how the cards were dealt. Michael David Rock was born in Britain in 1948, one year and a few miles away from a man who would eventually come to feel that “Bowie” suited him better than “Jones.” And so, from the very start, Mick Rock was on something of a collision course with rock and roll, a passenger waiting to make good on his one-way ticket to the soul of the 20th century.

Aside from the guaranteed global behemoth F8 of the Furious, a.k.a. Furious 8, a.k.a. All in the Fambly, this April is conspicuously blockbuster-lite. (Unless you count Smurfs: The Lost Village, and we do not.) No better time, then, to do a bit of exploring around the indie fringes. Offbeat genre pictures are abound this month, from a sleazy revenge picture to a slippery character study/kaiju movie combo to a virtuosic opera of gunfire. Elsewhere, Tom Hanks tackles a technothriller, Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson venture into...

The ups and downs of rock photographer Mick Rock's glamorous, trailblazing career has been chronicled in the new documentary Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock. A new trailer details the inward journey Rock takes in the film.
"It's an energy thing," Rock's narration begins in the trailer. "In the heights of the moment, I say 'assassin' because that's what I feel like, and I'm gonna take you out." From there, the photographer notes how he and David Bowie mutually launched his career and the wide range of superstars he chronicled,...

It’s been almost a year to the day since we lost David Bowie, but the rock icon and beloved creative force is still foremost in the minds of those who knew and loved him best. As Billboard reports, on Sunday evening, some of those people — including fans, friends and even former bandmates — gathered together to celebrate what would have been Bowie’s seventieth birthday for a three-hour charity concert at London’s Brixton Academy. It was an appropriately rocking and raucous event.
The show was hosted by actor (and close Bowie pal) Gary Oldman, who took the stage not only to emcee the event, but to rock out to a few of Bowie’s classics, including “Sorrow” and “The Man Who Sold the World.”

David Bowie may have left us, but his music has not — and, in a most pleasant surprise, some of his final recordings have been assembled in a new form. Today’s “No Plan” Ep, which was released to coincide with what would have been the dearly departed musician/actor/space oddity’s 70th birthday, contains four songs that were originally part of the soundtrack to Bowie’s Broadway musical “Lazarus”: “Lazarus,” “No Plan,” “Killing a Little Time” and “When I Met You.” Watch the new video for the title track below.

In a year of devastating celebrity deaths, David Bowie’s has been one of the hardest to accept. Adding salt to the wound was the news, earlier this year, that the singular performer was slated for a role in next year’s “Twin Peaks” revival before his passing; in a similar vein, we now know a little more about his would-be role in “The Lord of the Rings.”

In the wake of “Stranger Things'” success, Brown has garnered a great deal of fame for her performance and has frequently been a staple on late night talk shows.

In the video, she dons a hoodie and speeds around the city singing to the song. Watch the video below.

David Bowie may have departed this mortal coil earlier this year, but the out-of-this-world talented multi-hyphenate’s spirit — and influence — will continue to live on for years (decades? centuries? millennia?) to come.
In that same vein, Parlophone is celebrating Bowie’s life and work with a brand new compilation album entitled “Bowie – Legacy,” which will hit shelves later this month. As part of this essential revisit to some of Bowie’s best-loved songs, “Life on Mars” music video director Mick Rock has recut the seminal video into a fresh new take (hard to do, considering the original is still damn fresh as is) and taken to The Guardian to explain some of his choices, both in the new version and the beloved original.

Exclusive: Content’s Afm slate includes Jon Brewer’s Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story.
Content Media has acquired worldwide sales rights to the timely music documentary, Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story.
President of film Jamie Carmichael and executive vice-president of sales and distribution Jonathan Ford are introducing Jon Brewer’s film to the market this week.
While the film is expected to capitalise on global fascination for the late David Bowie himself, who died in January this year, the subject is his frequent collaborator and guitar virtuoso Ronson.
As a member of Bowie’s backing band The Spiders From Mars in the early 1970’s, Ronson contributed to some of the most iconic compositions, lyrics and recordings in contemporary music.
He recorded several solo albums and also earned a reputation as a sought-after session musician who played with Ian Hunter, Lou Reed and Morrissey and toured with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
