It was produced by Keach with longtime Gregg Allman manager Michael Lehman and Alex Komisaruk of PCH Films, as well as executive producers Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank of Amblin Documentaries, Douglas Banker of Five All in the Fifth, Michael Hughes and Greg C. Lake of DLP Media Group, Robert Stein, Alexandra Dale of Rolling Stone Films, and Levy and Liouliakis of Subtext. Keach, whose previous credits include 2005’s Academy Award-winning “Walk the Line” and the documentaries “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me,” “David Crosby: Remember My Name” and the Grammy-winning “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice,” says, “Gregg’s story totally resonated with me, especially his relationship with his brother, Duane.
I have a very close relationship with my brother, Stacy, and the thought of losing my brother at such a young age really got me. ” Gregg’s longtime manager Michael Lehman says, “Gregg was impacted by, among other things, his profoundly close relationship and the tragic loss of his brother Duane. His music reflects the joy and the pain of his life experiences.
I chose James Keach to direct this film because James is both an incredibly talented director and has a close relationship with his own brother, Stacy. I knew from the start that he would bring to life Gregg’s story, including the relationship with Duane and with his band, The Allman Brothers Band, and that James would be able to create both an enjoyable and deeply memorable film.
