"If you think every film about tormented geniuses has to end
in tragedy, YOU’RE GONNA MISS ME will shock you." Ken Taylor, XLR8R
[FOUR STARS] – Film Inside Out
This is the story of Roky Erickson: manic
frontman for the legendary band The 13th
Floor Elevators, creators of psychedelic
music and muse to Janis Joplin. YOU’RE
GONNA MISS ME is a disturbingly intimate
portrait of an imploding family and the
struggle between modernized medicine and
religion.
Known for his colossal heroin and LSD binges,
struggles with schizophrenia, and an
unthinkable term at Rusk Hospital for the
Criminally Insane, Roky went missing from
the world.
YOU’RE GONNA MISS ME reveals the
shocking and triumphant truth behind one of
Rock’s great mysteries.
