Directed by Robert Schwartzman, Hung Up On A Dream: The Zombies Documentary explores the journey of the iconic British rock band, The Zombies, known for their timeless hits like “She’s Not There” and “Time of the Season.” Schwartzman’s documentary offers an intimate look at the band’s formation, rise to fame, challenges, and eventual resurgence, providing fans and newcomers alike with a comprehensive view of their musical odyssey.

The documentary featuring Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, Hugh Grundy, Søren Koch, Steve Rodford, Tom Toomey, and Chris White made its debut at South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, then went on to screen at Tribeca Film Festival and London Film Festival.

It will be released in theaters beginning May 12th, opening in LA at the Landmark NuArt Theatre on May 15th and in New York at the Quad Cinema on May 16th.

According to the synopsis: In their first ever feature documentary nearly sixty years after they met as teenagers before the British Invasion music scene, The Zombies tell their story of navigating the tumultuous music industry over the decades and making one of the most influential albums of all time, Odessey and Oracle. “She’s Not There” made them the first British band after The Beatles to reach #1 in the US. After years of touring and many missteps in the 60s, sadly the band missed out on their biggest moment yet, when “Time of the Season” hit #1 and became a global success, inspiring new generations each year. The band looks back on their journey, where true friendship led them to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“I can’t express how much I love The Zombies. After hearing their music as a teenager, I felt like I understood them musically, melodically and emotionally. Their clever arrangements and sophisticated songwriting gave me a musical foundation that helped me launch my own band, Rooney,” said director Robert Schwartzman. “As a fan and fellow musician, to get the chance to make a film about their 60+ year journey is a dream-like moment and truly an honor. I believe The Zombies are one of the best bands in history and I can’t wait for people to see this film!”
