VIA PRESS RELEASE | Colin Hay–Waiting For My Real Life is Colin’s inspiring story and journey from dizzying heights to staggering lows to finding salvation through song. The film follows the unexpectedly swift rise to superstardom of Men At Work, to the band’s equally surprising demise, to Colin’s long, slow climb back to relevance and resonance.
Ultimately, commitment to his craft and the development of a truly one-of-a-kind stage show set Colin on the path that leads to a deeply satisfying solo career – one that is still ascending. Colin Hay–Waiting For My Real Life weaves its story around intimate footage from Colin’s successful 2013 world tour and features interviews with close family and friends as well as celebrity admirers Hugh Jackman, Mick Fleetwood, Zach Braff, Sia Furler and many others. Now, with sold out shows, critically acclaimed solo albums, and a word-of-mouth reputation for offering one of the finest evenings a music fan could ask for, Colin finds himself at the top of his powers and simply waiting for his real life to begin.
Colin Hay–Waiting For My Life is written and directed by Nate Gowtham and Aaron Faulls. After building a successful audio career in television and film post-production (Lemmy, The Damned: Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead, Rolling Stone, NBC, CBS, ABC), Gowtham sought to combine his deep love of music and documentary film into transformative storytelling. Aaron Faulls’ award-winning documentary feature, Still On Her Keel, followed the adventures of three treasure-hunting shipwreck divers. His latest documentary, Taking A Bullet, detailed the making of Little Birds, a film featuring Kate Bosworth and Leslie Mann.
