Bill & Ted's Star Alex Winter Crowdfunding Frank Zappa Film

(Classic Rock) Filmmaker Alex Winter has launched a crowdfunding drive to help make his dreams of a Frank Zappa documentary come true. Winter, know for his acting roles in films including The Lost Boys and Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure, has been given full access to Zappa's vault of material, which includes lost interviews, travel journals, concert footage, demos, private recordings and unreleased b-sides.

He's looking to raise $500,000 in the space of a month - and so far the film titled Who The F*@% Is Frank Zappa has hit $180,000 after just two days. Winter says: "Other docs have tried to tell Frank's story but we've got something no one's ever had - we've got thousands of hours of new stuff to look at.

"Frank kept pretty much everything but no one outside the family has ever had permission to use it - until now. We're allowed to use everything - but before we can do that, we have to find out what's here, digitise it and make sure it's in a form we can use." Read more here.
