Background
The film is about a quest to find the reclusive Sly.[1] According to a 2005 Rolling Stone article by Andrew Paine Bradbury, Michael Rubenstone, Greg Zola, and indie One-Four Productions were in their second year of their project.[2] In a Washington Post article, in reference to Stone's absence, one of the filmmakers compared him to J. D. Salinger.[3] Through a period of about 12 years, band members, people in the music industry and other musicians were interviewed.[4] One of the people to appear in the film is Cornel West. He talks about Stone's biggest hit songs and the effect they had on him.[5]
After 13 years and going through 500 hours of footage the film was completed.[6] It appears that the final product as well as the majority of the work, and final completion is due to the efforts by Michael Rubenstone with a new production company, Unreal films.[7][8][9]
