Michael Alago and Drew Stone discusse Who The F*ck Is That Guy? on iTalk Movies

/0 Comments/in /by

iTalk movies is a long-form interview series featuring leading members of the film community. In this episode, our host Alison Dean interviews Michael Alago and Drew Stone about their project WHO THE F**K IS THAT GUY? on the Popcorn Talk Network.

WHO THE F**K IS THAT GUY? takes viewers inside the incredible life of Michael Alago, a gay Puerto Rican kid from Brooklyn who went on to shape and reinvent the world’s musical landscape — first as a 19-year-old talent booker at the legendary Ritz nightclub in New York City and then as a 24-year-old A&R exec at Elektra Records who signed Metallica, White Zombie and worked with other notable artists including Nina Simone, John Lydon and Cyndi Lauper. The film tells the tender, loving and sometimes self-destructive story of a man who “just loved music.” He had the passion to bring it to the world on his terms and lived to talk about it. Barely.

Alago succeeded professionally as a gay man in a metal music sub-culture known for its perceived homophobia. Alago survived the AIDS crisis and addiction and re-invented himself as a visual artist, poet and published art photographer.
