What type of research went in to writing Life of Groupies?

It began with digging out 80's metal albums and listening to them again. I let the music enter my soul where memories of being a fan resurfaced and pure imagination began to play out. http://www.lifeofgroupiestv.com

Die-Hard Fans

When I was 16 years old, I snuck out of my parents house with a friend to go and see Izzy Stradlin, an ex-original member of Guns N' Roses perform at a club. I was underage of course but they still let me in because I told them I was of legal age. Go figure. A security guy approached me and a few other girls in the crowd assuming we were all hanging out together and invited us backstage saying the band wanted to meet us after the show. I didn't go. I couldn't find my friend at the time who had wondered off but I waited until I found her when the club was almost empty.

I was never a groupie, but I had done my fair share of traveling in the past, often internationally at the time from my native Australia to the US, just to see a particular rock band perform and sometimes to hang with the band after the show, along with other female fans.

Who was your favorite band growing up?

Welcome to the official group page for Life of Groupies TV pilot! Feel free to introduce yourself. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1422179421423062/

I've been a huge fan of 80's metal / hard rock music ever since I was as a pre-teen, when Appetite For Destruction, was released. Guns N’ Roses was my all time favorite band. It seemed everywhere you went, dedicated fans of hard rock were proudly wearing t-shirts of their favorite bands from Motley Crue to Metallica. But I always wondered what ever happened to all those fans when they grew older. Did they cut their hair and take corporate jobs? What became of their lives? My passion for rock stars, the music and curiosity about their fans is what inspired me to create a TV pilot about a fictitious hard rock band and their groupies.

This show will appeal to fans of the 80’s, especially those that love hard rock and for middle age fans who can recall what it was like to be a devoted fan back in their youth.

I've not only always had a fascination and appreciation for rock stars and the wild lifestyles they lead, but what it also means to be a die hard fan and observing the crazy reality of hierarchy amongst some female fans at rock concerts. I've won awards for Life of Groupies at the 2014 Hollywood Screenplay Contest and the 2014 Beverly Hills Screenplay Contest.
