New rock documentary showcases best session players in music industry

“Hired Gun: Out of the Shadows, Into the Spotlight” will be shown for one night only on June 29th across several hundred North American movie locations.

The documentary shoes behind-the-scenes footage of the personalities and creative prowess of some of the best session players in the world, including Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel), and John 5 (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson).

"We have been overwhelmed by the support and feedback received throughout our festival run," said director Fran Strine said. "'Hired Gun' is about musicians whose DNA are all over the music and tours we love, without us knowing their faces or names. It’s a music documentary with passion and talent at its core, digging deep and ripping the curtain back to expose what it’s really like to tour and record with the legends."
