Synopsis

This week, I talk to filmmaker Eric Green about the release of his documentary on the mid-'80s Boston music channel V66. Show notes: - We last spoke in 2012, when Eric was still working on Life on the V - Previously appeared in episodes 231 and 232 - Movie's now out on DVD and in film festivals - In 1985, MTV was still growing and smaller music video shows were on - Two Boston radio veterans wanted V66 to be like a radio station - Audiences who are unfamiliar with V66 have enjoyed the movie - Long post-production process - Cast and crew screening was in early 2014 - Founder John Garabedian quickly realized V66 couldn't just show videos - Needed other programming to keep viewers - Added wrestling, sports and lifestyle shows - Original cut of movie was 2 hours - Connecting to the Boston community - Good response at festivals - Developing other projects - Great time for music documentaries - Eric: It's as much a business story as a music story   Completely Conspicuous is available t
