Propagate, the indie studio founded by Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens, has wrapped production on Boy George & Culture Club, a documentary on the iconic New Wave band of the same name and its frontman, from director Alison Ellwood (Laurel Canyon).
The doc is said to offer a provocative, chaotic, and impossibly fun look at one of music’s most groundbreaking bands, charting their meteoric rise to fame, dramatic split, and remarkable reunion. For the first time, band members Boy George, Roy Hay, Mikey Craig, and Jon Moss come together to share their complete story, offering candid insights into their creative process, personal relationships, and the cultural impact that defined a generation. Set against the backdrop of 1980s Britain, the doc explores how four young men formed a multi-racial, ethnically diverse, and sexually liberated band with a style and sound that challenged the status quo during the era of New Romantics and Margaret Thatcher’s Britain.
The film is produced by Propagate in association with Fine Point Films, Primary Wave Music, and Polygram Entertainment. Executive producers include Silverman, Owens, James Packer, Drew Buckley, Isabel San Vargas, Andrew D Corkin, and Eimhear O’Neill. Producers are Natalia Nastaskin, Lawrence Mestel, David Blackman, Trevor Birney, and Andrew Tully.
