The film was directed by Stuart St. Paul, who has worked on projects ranging from Duran Duran’s seminal ‘Wild Boys’ video, to ‘Aliens’, ‘Batman’ and three ‘Bond’ movies.
Francis Rossi said, “Making the film in Fiji was a fantastic
experience and we couldn’t help but be inspired by our surroundings. We
had no plans to write an album as well as filming our parts for the
movie, it just happened.” Rick
Parfitt added, “We hope that Quo fans will enjoy the film, which is certainly
something new for the band, but we know they are going to love the music.”
