Welcome To The Machine: An inside look at the music industry from those in-the-know

WELCOME TO THE MACHINE
A documentary detailing the 12 commandments of music industry as
revealed by a multitude of stars, experts and professionals

Coming to DVD on August 6th




Welcome to the Machine" is a documentary analysis of the functionality in music business. This automatically makes the film a 100% documentary with comedy and drama, as well as 100% semi-investigative. In 12 chapters we're trying to answer the question what the every day work life of a music star looks like.  

What do you have to consider when starting a band? What is a manager actually doing? How do music media, band contests and other promotion strategies work? But most of all: Is there a formula for success? The film gives a clear answer to that, although that is to say that there are as many formulas for success as there are artists/bands. This is clearly shown in all the interviews, which have been taken with national and international stars during the production of "Welcome to the Machine".
