Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story (15)
25th April 2019
In 1984, after a decade of trying, and failing, to make it in the record business, Chris Sievey created himself a papier-maché-headed pop-star alter ego named Frank Sidebottom. Soon, Frank gained an army of fans, played concerts around the country, and even had his own TV show, but underneath the mask, Chris Sievey had become a prisoner of his own success. Using footage from Sievey’s archives, as well as interviews with fans and loved ones, Steve Sullivan paints the portrait of a troubled artist whose story truly was stranger than fiction.
