Episode 82: Mick Richards
from This Is Happening! Hosted by with Nathan Streifel and Eric Morris
Check out a brand new episode of This Is Happening! This week, Eric Morris, Doug Budin, and special guest co-host Georgie Leahy sit down with Mick Richards to discuss his new documentary CREATING WOODSTOCK. Full disclosure: Eric produced this film with Mick. Mick Richards attended Woodstock as a teenager in 1969 and didn't think much more about it until years later when his son learned about it in school asked him what it was all about. Mick started reading about it and found the backstory of how the festival came together to be fascinating, so he began a decades-long process of making a documentary about it. The result is his new film CREATING WOODSTOCK now available on Amazon, iTunes, Vimeo and more. Mick interviewed everyone who played a significant role in putting the original Woodstock festival together and his film offers the most comprehensive account available of how Woodstock became an iconic event that defined a generation. CREATING WOODSTOCK uses rare archival footage and exclusive interviews with the people behind Woodstock including Joel Rosenman, John Roberts, Michael Lang, Artie Kornfeld, John Morris, Mel Lawrence, Bill Belmont, Richie Havens, and Arlo Guthrie. Mick tells us about all about making the film and what it's been like to release it for Woodstock's 50th Anniversary.
