Directed by Bridget Sutherland the film is to premiere in Auckland at the Academy Cinema - as part of the New Zealand Documentary Film Festival. The film has also screened at the Nashville Film Festival. Shot in Nashville while he was recording his last album with Lambchop, the film offers a window onto Kilgour's creative process and exclusive footage of Lambchop's world as David travels from Kurt Wagner's basement, to the recording studio of maverick producer Mark Nevers, to the underworld haunts of the Nashville music scene. Also performing in the film are Kilgour's New Zealand bands The Clean and the Heavy Eights. Other musicians appearing include Yo La Tengo, David Berman of the Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy, Jason and the Scorchers, Billy Joe Shaver, Allison Moorer, Jason Lowenstein of Sebadoh and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.
