It’s all gone Pete Tong. Brief story behind the movie

38-year-old Frankie Wilde, a world-famous DJ, master of turntables, and god of clubbing, is adored by the crowd, can have everything and everyone, and is sunk in luxury, debauchery and cynicism. He’s at the peak and at the bottom. But, having lost almost everything, he goes through various trials, comes down to earth, cleans up and finally becomes a better person. The director of the film, Canadian Michael Dowse, said that the theme of Ibiza and electronic music wasn’t his idea. “The producers had seen my short (237) and my feature (Fubar) and they came to me with an idea about doing a feature about Ibiza. They came with the title and some money, which was a good ass deal for me that I couldn’t pass up. The island looked interesting, and I came up with the story.” The film was shot in the early noughties, during the boom of club culture and the phenomenon of super DJs with astronomical fees. For the director, this topic was new: “I’m more into rock and roll.” That’s why Frankie wrote an album with guitarists in leather jackets :-)
