Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral | Celebrating its World Premiere at Sheffield Doc Fest

Buzz, Film

J6 Films is proud to announce that Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral will have its World Premiere at Sheffield Doc Fest on the 21st June.

Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral follows the story of six childhood outsiders from Merseyside as they transform into one of the most influential British guitar bands of the new millennium. Their high-energy blend of psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll revitalising the doldrums of the post-Britpop music scene.

Narrated by the band, the film is an immersive experience that creatively combines reconstruction, archive footage, and animation to capture the early 2000s era through the eyes of six northern teenagers, who together created their own strange, endlessly creative escapist universe. As the friends leave their sleepy hometown of Hoylake in pursuit of musical glory, the spotlight eventually finds them but is it fame they’re after or it just being together?

With appearances from The Lightning Seeds, The Zutons and Tramp Attack, Dreaming of You: The Making of The Coral is a dreamscape of friendship, fame and fuzzy guitars. The film commemorates The Coral from their working-class Merseyside roots, through their rise in Liverpool’s Bandwagon Scene, going on to become one of the UK’s most influential bands.
