Jim Baade Rock Documentary Film Named Finalist At Moondance Int'l Film Festival

Film Festival Finalist

Congratulations to documentary filmmaker and longtime member of MICHIGAN's radio community JIM BAADE, whose film adaptation of "Local DJ: The Story Of FLINT Rock N Roll" was recently awarded finalist status in the highly regarded MOONDANCE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL for 2017. The feature documentary was included in the honor among films from IRELAND, TURKEY, IRAN, SINGAPORE and AUSTRALIA.

The film follows the life and career of PETER C. CAVANAUGH, Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame DJ (class of 2011)/Promoter/Executive, from his early days as radio announcer, through his years as a pioneering broadcast programmer and concert promoter throughout much of the late 20th century (CAVANAUGH now resides in OAKHURST, CALIFORNIA, where he is a columnist for the SIERRA STAR).

MICHIGAN Rock N Roll and stars like THE MC5, BOB SEGER, TED NUGENT, ALICE COOPER, and THE STOOGES are highlighted in the film. It was written, produced, directed and edited by BAADE, whose other film "FLINT’s Best Rock" won Best Documentary at the 2013 FLINT FILM FESTIVAL. Both films are housed at the ROCK N’ ROLL HALL OF FAME in CLEVELAND. BAADE is currently Creative Director for TOWNSQUARE MEDIA/FLINT.
