Rockumentary features Kiefer Sutherland and Rocco Deluca & The B

from the Kiefer Cam dept.

First Independent Pictures and Jude Cole and Kiefer Sutherland’s Ironworks Music officially announced a distribution deal for the rock documentary, I Trust You To Kill Me. The film, which marks Sutherland’s first appearance in a feature documentary, will be released in selected theaters in New York (9/8), Los Angeles (9/15) and San Francisco (9/29) and features the first artist signed to Ironworks Music, Rocco DeLuca and The Burden. Sutherland, along with the film’s director, Manu Boyer will be in attendance to celebrate the first two opening nights of the film in New York and will partake in a Q&A immediately following the film at select nights in each city.

I Trust You To Kill Me follows Kiefer Sutherland, taking his indie record label act, Rocco DeLuca & the Burden, on their first international tour through London, Dublin, Reykjavic and Berlin. Directed by Manu Boyer, the rockumentary chronicles a highly personal journey of a rock band & their less than qualified road manager (Sutherland), and shows the hopes, successes and disappointments of a band trying to find their audience. Shot guerilla style in High Definition color and black and white, the multi-camera crew intermingles real-life characters and captures the excitement and commotion of staged and un-staged performances, improvised interactions between the band, fans and locals.

“The tour in Europe, and the film that has resulted, I Trust You To Kill Me, was an amazingly personal experience,” says Sutherland. “With the help of Gary Rubin and his company, First Independent Pictures, this film will have a limited theatrical run, something that none of us could have ever dreamed of. We now hope that audiences will enjoy the film as much as we enjoyed being a part of it.”

Rocco DeLuca and The Burden released their debut album this year and their current single, “Colorful” has just entered the AAA Top 30 chart and is aimed to be a top 10 record. The bands personal highlights over the past few months include opening for Robert Plant in the UK, performing at the Playboy Mansion and being the first musicians ever to perform at the Monte Carlo Film Festival.
