Screaming Butterfly Entertainment have shared a new sizzle reel for the upcoming Nick Menza (ex-Megadeth) documentary “This Was My Life: The Story Of Nick Menza.” The film, which will offer “an unflinching exploration into the life” of the late drummer, is being produced, directed, and edited by Holly Mollohan. David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) will also serve as a co-producer.
Mollohan said the following:
“‘This Was My Life: The Story of Nick Menza’ is now deep into the production phase of the film. The generous support of the fans during our Indiegogo campaign, as well as the amazing participation of the interviewees has enabled us to gather some truly unique memories and stories. For this, we are truly grateful. The recent Los Angeles portion of interviews went extremely well and we look forward to traveling to Seattle and New York City in the coming months for the next set of interviews. This project is proving to be an interesting and rewarding one, and we look forward to sharing Nick’s story.”
Ellefson continued:
“The making of the Nick Menza documentary has been such a joy for all of us, like a sort of MEGA family reunion where we share stories, laughs and even a few tears around Nick and what he meant to so many of us. I think this film and soundtrack will touch the hearts of the fans and viewers in the same way, as we remember his larger-than-life character behind the drum kit, but also his lovable charm and warmth that made him the beloved one of a treasured musical legacy.”
The Menza family added:
“We are excited for the fans to see the life Nick lived before, during, and after MEGADETH, it was quite the journey. Stay tuned for an epic documentary. As Nick would say, ‘It’s gonna be RAD.’”
Menza’s longtime personal manager Robert Bolger also commented:
“Nick loved his fans and always said without the fans none this would be possible. I really think Nick’s fans will enjoy this journey through his life. Thank you everyone for the continued support in keeping Nick’s legacy alive.”
