Liverpool production company’s Cavern Club documentary set for festival launch

Staff at LA Factual produced more than 40 hours of content all of which was cut down to make the 70-minute mark. The team travelled the length of the country throughout filming with parts also filmed in Paris.

The documentary is being shown to international TV companies and on demand video services.

Christian Francis-Davies, head of LA Factual, said: “Being a Liverpool-based production company, it is a great honour to work with such an iconic venue, something that helped shape the city’s cultural persona in to what we see today. With 60 years of history, it really was a treasure trove of stories to be told.

“We are really pleased with the outcome of the documentary and we cannot wait for audiences both at home and abroad to enjoy it for themselves.”

Jon Keats, director of the Cavern Club, added: “There have been several films been made over the years about the Cavern, usually focusing on the Beatles period. This is the definitive documentary of a legendary Liverpool venue, made by a Liverpool company. We are delighted with the end result.”

The documentary will also be shown at the Newport Beach Film Festival later this month, and is set to air in the UK in the summer.
