$To Be Frank \u2013 Me, Frank and the Music Industry (18)$

To Be Frank is a rockumentary film that follows the life journey of Frank Benbini (Uncle Frank) from humble beginnings on a Leicester council estate with his single working-class Mum, to internationally renowned musician, touring the world with major artists such as Fun Lovin’ Criminals, UB40 and Sinead O’Connor, and recording his own critically acclaimed music.
Fascinated by his insatiable work ethic and infectious personality, friend and filmmaker Steve Baker has been documenting Frank’s career for over ten years, capturing footage on planes, trains and automobiles, in hotels and recording studios, and at live shows of every shape and size – pubs thru festivals and stadia – recording first-hand the unfolding story of Frank's rising star, warts’n’all.
The result is a supremely entertaining film that reveals just how hard it is to succeed in the modern music industry, and how Frank Benbini has done just that against all the odds. The story of his musical journey juxtaposed skilfully against his battles with mental health issues, record labels, and an ever-changing music industry, will resonate with audiences up and down the land.
