Synopsis

Starting in 1979 the New York City teenage Funk band, MILLER, MILLER, MILLER & SLOAN was hot and popular, playing at such famous venues as the Peppermint Lounge and CBGB's. They were filled with great hopes and dreams of making it. By 1988 the band was still together, but life was intervening. The record deal, necessary for success at that time, kept eluding them. By 1993 they 'disbanded'. Then in 2007 the filmmaker went back to see what happened to them as individuals, to explore where the 'dream' of making it and the intense creativity of that time had taken them in their lives. This is not a typical BEHIND THE MUSIC story, but one that speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness that people can acquire in pursuing creative goals.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
