Omar Rodriguez-Lopez to premier a film in Rotterdam, John is its executive producer
John is credited as an executive producer in Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s new film, The Sentimental Engine Slayer, which is set to premier at the Rotterdam Film Festival in February.
Given that his involvement would probably cause people to speculate though his role is clearly stated, I have asked Cathy Pellow of Sargent House/Refused TV who are behind this project as well, to clarify it and make sure it does not involve music. Her reply was prompt and more than clarifying.
Hello. I have just read that John Frusciante was credited as the executive producer for Omar’s film trailer for which is on your Myspace page. In what way is he the executive producer. Did he contribute music to it, or is it something else? Thanks. ^_^
John is the Executive Producer in the true sense of the word. John did not do any music for the film, it is not a musically driven movie. Don’t be expecting to have music be the focus or even in every scene on this film because it’s a movie not a music movie.
Here is the trailer of the film, for everyone who’s interested:
