Johnny Starke

Two brothers crash into the decaying Earth to stop a capitalist from manufacturing an immortality serum, which is synthesized utilizing heinous methods and leaving an increasingly dire infertility rate in its wake.

Lloyd is a man in his late-20s who works as a freelance sound mixer in Kansas City, MO. Lloyd loves his job, is good at it, and has a nice, stable life, but he cannot seem to let go of an unfulfilled dream.

Are record collectors simply purveyors of popular culture or are they its greatest protectors? The film Forty-Five: The Search for Soul, sets out to answer that question as we follow one DJ on a quest for black gold. For Johnny Starke digging through dusty thrift shop bins to find lost wax and forgotten sounds is not simply a hobby... It’s his chief obsession and his life’s work. This is a film about record collecting and more importantly, it’s about saving forgotten pieces of popular culture and returning them to the turntable, the dance floor and ultimately back to their historical relevance. Director Anthony Ladesich brings to life the story of one collector, one 45rpm record, and one song.
