You're Gonna Miss Me

The Ritz Theater
Minneapolis, MN

(Keven McAlester, USA, 2005, 92 min)

Keven McAlester says of his award winning documentary, I started out
thinking I was making ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST, but I ended up
with something more like BEING THERE. Shot by cinematographer Lee
Daniel (SLACKER, DAZED AND CONFUSED, BEFORE SUNSET), the film tells
the story of Austinite Roky Erickson, undeniably one of the greatest
singer-songwriter, guitar player and harmonica-wailers of all time,
and Janis Joplins chief influence. The singer and founding member of
the 13th Floor Elevators was talented but unpredictable. After
entering an insanity plea in 1969 for a marijuana arrest, Roky was
sent to a mental hospital for three years where he was surrounded by
the worst violent and mentally ill criminals. To the great dismay of
his fans, he became a recluse.

Featuring interviews with Billy Gibbons, Thurston Moore, and Patti Smith, YOURE GONNA MISS ME is a
devastating exploration of the life of one of rocks most infamously tragic figures.
