This year marks a poignant milestone – the 25th anniversary of Rozz Williams’ passing and what would have been his 60th birthday. Rozz Williams, born Roger Painter, was a pivotal figure in the gothic rock scene, primarily through his work with Christian Death. To honor his extraordinary legacy, a new documentary film (final title to be announced) is in the works, spearheaded by his friend and collaborator, Nico B.
For the past two years, this project has been a labor of love and dedication. The team has already filmed in stunning 4K, capturing interviews with 23 individuals who were close to Rozz Williams. This includes family members, friends, and collaborators like Eva O, Gitane Demone, Rikk Agnew, Ron Athey, and others. They provide an intimate glimpse into the life and work of this influential artist.
However, to bring this vision to life, the project needs your support. The film is in its final stages, requiring funding to complete editing and post-production. This is where the community can play a crucial role. By contributing, you help preserve the memory of Rozz Williams and ensure that his artistic contributions are not forgotten.
This documentary isn’t just about interviews. It’s a deep dive into Rozz Williams’ world, featuring a rich archive of his music, photographs, art, and video works. From his time with Christian Death to Shadow Project, Premature Ejaculation, and every other project he touched, the film promises a comprehensive look at his creative journey.
