The wait is over! The new feature length documentary, and the first ever commissioned by the band itself, is out in IMAX theaters across America. Becoming Led Zeppelin features never before heard interviews with legendary drummer John Bonham, as well as recently captured interviews with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page.
Principal shooting took place in 2018 in London. Directed by Bernard MacMahan, Long Beach Film Company’s own Vern Moen is the cinematographer who was charged with designing and filming the interviews. Because the film is only narrated by the band members themselves, the set needed to be both comfortable, efficient, and well lit to give the band space to tell there story without the endless starts and stops of traditional filmmaking.
Look out for the film in your local IMAX!
