Speaking on the California premiere, Grayson declared it, "incredible" and thanked everyone involved for making it "such a success." Ellefson added that he found the sold-out event "absolutely fantastic… and the film very emotional."

The film provides an intimate look into a life dedicated to music. Culled from Menza's personal and private VHS tape collection, photos, and audio files, it's a deep dive into unreleased drum tracks, concert and studio footage, candid glimpses backstage and on the tour bus, and interviews with family, friends, fans, and colleagues.

"We are thrilled to bring this screening to local music fans. The Tri-State area has always been metal-friendly," says BayView Entertainment VP of Acquisitions, Peter Castro.
