San Francisco Rave Doc ‘Between The Beats’ Acquired by Gravitas
Indie film distributor Gravitas Ventures has secured U.S. and Canadian rights to “Between The Beats,” a feature documentary chronicling San Francisco‘s early 1990s rave scene and its lasting impact on the Bay Area.
Directed by Martin O’Brien and produced by O’Brien and Mike Koeppel, the film features prominent figures from the era, including Brian Behlendorf, DJ Harvey, DJ Dan and DJ Doc Martin. It examines the DIY ethos and psychedelic community spirit that defined the scene.
The documentary explores how the all-night electronic music dance parties attracted diverse crowds and became catalysts for many attendees who later became significant players in Silicon Valley, global dance music and activism.
O’Brien, who was involved in creating the San Francisco rave scene, said: “The film was made to take viewers on a journey back to an early ’90s music scene that has since grown into the hugely popular EDM/electronica phenomenon across the globe. I wanted to capture the magic of those early years and celebrate transformational music and the powerfully positive energy among its participants.”
Mackenzie Maguire, acquisitions manager at Gravitas Ventures, added: “This intimate look into the San Francisco rave scene is sure to fascinate audiences nationwide.”
Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment company, plans to release “Between The Beats” on digital platforms on October 15.
The company has been on an acquisition spree of late with recent pickups including sci-fi thriller “The Fix,” starring Grace Van Dien, who appeared in “Stranger Things”; drama “My Home Unknown” starring, written and produced by first time feature director Yaz Canli; Lou Simon‘s “9 Windows,” a modern re-telling of Director Alfred Hitchcock‘s 1954 classic, “Rear Window”; and horror thriller “I’ll Play Mother.”
