North American Release of Award-Winning Documentary “Don’t Turn Your Back On Friday Night” from Executive Producer Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine)
“Don’t Turn Your Back On Friday Night,” co-written and co-directed by Michael O’Brien (“ American Greed,” “The First 48: Missing Persons”), and Mike Schmiedeler (“Parole Diaries,”“Collector’s Call,”), is a non-linear affair that goes beyond the land of typical rock documentaries. 5 years in the making and with its impressionistic approach - it melds visual media, audio, and studio recordings to subtly take the viewer to a more profound and poignant place.
“Don’t Turn Your Back On Friday Night” ingeniously explores the life and career of Ike Reilly (Libertyville native --just North of Chicago) by culling over 40 years of footage and masterfully weaving in Reilly’s songs and stories to reveal a complicated and formidable artist. From his explosive critically acclaimed major label debut album “Salesmen And Racists” to the celebrated “Born On Fire” album whose title track was featured in Ike’s friend Chris Farley’s biopic along with interviews from Ike himself, he has been creating rebellious punk/folk/country/blues-influenced rock ’n’ roll records that are poetic and cinematic. The film includes electrifying live performances, intimate personal moments and interviews with critics, fans, family, and legendary artists including David Lowery and Johnny Hickman of the band Cracker and Rock & Roll Hall Fame inductee Tom Morello. Morello, who also serves as Executive Producer says, “Ike Reilly is kind of like a real-life version of Jimmy Stewart’s character in It’s A Wonderful Life. Ike’s path as an incredibly talented yet underappreciated heartland troubadour has taken many unexpected, hilarious, rocky, and ultimately redemptive twists and turns that are all beautifully captured in this great film.”
“Don’t Turn Your Back On Friday Night” is a Comandante Manifesto produced by Clean Blood Pictures LLC. In addition to Ike and his band The Ike Reilly Assassination – Phil Karnats, Dave Cottini, Pete Cimbalo, Adam Krier, Tommy O’Donnell, Ed Tinley, Shane Reilly, Kevin Reilly, and Mickey Reilly, also featured in the film David Pasquesi (“Veep,” “Book Of Boba Fett”), Tony Fitzpatrick (Artist, Actor – “Patriot”) and Mars Williams (Psychadelic Furs - band).
