The film, which chronicles legendary Southern California recording studio Sound City Studios, was produced and directed by Grohl and will be released via Roswell Films, a division of Foo Fighters’ Roswell Records. Grohl, who was recently announced as the keynote speaker for SXSW 2013, said in a press release, “As a first time director, I am humbled to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through the extraordinary story of America's greatest unsung recording studio, Sound City. Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity, and passion for art.”
