Australia's St Kilda Film Festival has chosen Don't Thank Me, Thank AA: The Dave Mustaine Story, for this year's event, scheduled to run from May 26th-30th.
The film about MEGADETH's famed frontman will make its world premier at 9:45 PM - 11:30 PM on Saturday, May 29th at the Palace George Cinemas - Australia's premiere entertainment destination - in St Kilda, Melbourne.
A press release on the film reads: "Dave Mustaine was a heavily beaten child who grew up to be a raging drug addict and the greatest heavy metal guitarist in the world. These days, Dave finds peace via a combination of yoga, Christianity and taekwondo. Don’t Thank Me, Thank AA: The Dave Mustaine Story examines the genesis of Mustaine’s greatness, as percieved by drunk people on the street, and the nature of his inner hell and direct phone-line to God, as revealed in an intimate backstage conversation."
The documentary is by Mia Timpano, produced with the assistance of Renegade Productions. Key still by Jana Blomqvist.
