Starting at 10AM on June 1, Umphrey’s McGee will be streaming their archival documentary film Reel to Real through the services of Vimeo. The documentary made its debut on New Years Day at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, CO, and has made premieres in Chicago and New York City since. In one week from today, fans will be able to rent or purchase the short film, complete with bonus features, with pre-orders currently available here.
The film, directed and produced by their own team member and Lighting Director Jefferson Waful, documents the eighteen years of history behind the band. The rock-doc traces the band’s roots from the beginning of their career up to the present moment, using emotional interviews, live performances, and unreleased footage from behind the curtains to show the “real” from the “reel.” About one the most popular bands in our scene today and true pioneers of their genre, the film is enjoyable for any level of Umphrey’s Mcgee fans.
