Visit Films Premieres Footage of New “Journey” Documentary at EFM
by Nigel M Smith (Updated 10 hours, 57 minutes ago)

Footage from the rock documentary “Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey” will screen this week at the European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin. A Visit Films production directed by Ramona S. Diaz, the film chronicles Filipino musician Arnel Pineda’s rise to fame, from battling drug addiction to becoming iconic band Journey’s new lead singer.

The band (best known for their anthem “Don’t Stop Believing”) discovered Pineda through a YouTube clip of him singing for a cover band. “What could easily have been a five-minute film - rock band finds lead singer through You Tube - is a much bigger story because of the camera’s unfettered love for Arnel Pineda,” Diaz said in an official statement. “Arnel returns the affection by being the most candid and captivating character I’ve ever had the privilege to film.”

Journey’s manager John Baruck feels the film will have cross-over appeal with fans and film lovers alike.

I bet this is the reason they took 2010 off. They want to see if this film gets traction and they'll ride the wave of this along with the new album in 2011. Pretty smart because they needed a year off, anyway.
