It´s all gone


IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a biopic based on the life of legendary DJ Frankie Wilde.

Frankie was one of Europe's most talented and envied DJs and a main attraction for hedonistic youth each holiday season in Ibiza, Spain. Everything about Frankie's life was over the top: the clubs, the parties, the women and the drugs. But the years of pounding music and heavy toxins took their toll, eventually leaving Frankie stone deaf. His fans, record deal, manager, wife and stepson soon disappeared. The good times gone, Frankie isolated himself in his villa for a year under a pile of self-pity and a mountain of drugs.

Determined to pull himself together, Frankie hired a lip-reading instructor, accepting a new way of life and rediscovering the dance rhythms that had defined him. His ultimate redemption returned him to the top of the scene with a renewed connection to the almighty beat. And then - he disappeared.

IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a hilarious insiders look at a club and rave culture most people don't get to experience. Paul Kaye, portraying Frankie Wilde, turns in an award-winning performance. Directed by breakout director Michael Dowse, the film features interviews with world-famous DJs including Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Lol Hammond and Paul Van Dyk. The movie's soundtrack is a varied collection of club, new independent and classic songs.
A wild and original look at an extraordinary life.
