What better way to end the year and wrap up year eight of BEHIND THE LENS than with my very special guest, the multi-hyphenate renaissance man himself, FRANK MEYER, who joins us live in-studio! And to kick off the show, Frank even serenades us all with a rocking Christmas song! If you missed us live, you’ll want to check out this episode of #BTLRadioShow now!
A documentary filmmaker, an award-winning director & producer, author, musician, singer/songwriter- FRANK MEYER is the real deal. (And he’s a terrific guy and friend.)
A fascinating and fun hour with Frank as we dive into his career and the trajectory from music to writing to producing to directing to performing with multiple bands over the years and so much more. One of the very interesting aspects of our discussions is how Frank addresses many of the “business” aspects to making a film or making music that so often end up being the killer of dreams. He’s got some really sage advice and encouragement for all of the hopefuls and dreamers out there.
A great love of Frank’s has always been music, performing (most notably with The Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs) and composing, and I for one don’t see him slowing down with that aspect of his career no matter what else is on his plate. In fact, Frank even takes us through his love of hip-hop music and how that led him to direct two documentaries, the latest of which will be released this spring, namely FREESTYLE 101: HIP-HOP HISTORY.
And after you listen to this show and hear Frank sing, if you’re in the LA area, get yourself a ticket for the upcoming benefit for Noise for Now, SHINE A LIGHT: A ROLLING STONES TRIBUTE celebrating 50 years of “Exile on Main Street”. Frank is one of the performers! The show is Thursday, December 22, 2023 at 7pm at Zebulon in Los Angeles.
