Plus, The World Premiere of the short Melting of the Globe (2009) Music Documentary Short by Nic Beery

Mellodrama explores the rising and falling fortunes of the Mellotron—the first musical keyboard to sample the sounds of other instruments from its birth in a California garage in the 1950s, through its dominance on concert stages in the 1970s, through its almost religious cult of followers in the 2000s.

Through the music of the Beatles, the Zombies, and the Moody Blues, the Mellotron became the “instant magic sound.”

Mellodrama is presented in conjunction with The Revolve Film & Music Festival
