Film was a staple on the atlanta music scene from 1995 to 2003 producing ground breaking music. Like any band with a long history, Filmwent through many changes in both personnel and direction, ultimately leading to its final but most solid position. The band was made up of five individuals who all shared a passion for melody, groove, rhythm and emotion, a combination of styles that produced an uplifting, anthemic sound, well renowned in Atlanta. Influenced by British bands like The Charlatans, The Happy Mondays, The Who and The Beatles as well as American rock bands and dance music, Film songs span many genres and showcase awesome songwriting.Buy Our CD

Check out some videos of Film featuring Michael Johns on YouTubeFilm broke up on 2003, but left a legacy behind them.For more info visit: www.planetfilm.com * * 2007 * * Update!
Micheal Lee (now going by Michael Johns ) is a contestant of American Idol Season 7 . Mike auditioned in San Diego and got through easily. (Not surprisingly!). You can check out his audition here . Rumour has it that Mike made his way pretty far in the competition. He sang in cover bands for years in Atlanta before (and after) his stint in Film, so this competition might as well have been made for him. Michael Lee Johns already has a fan site going: The Aussie Possie! - make sure you add them as a friend and stay tuned as we work together to help Michael go all the way!After Michael Johns left Film he joined The Rising . He used 2 Film songs (Q -- renamed to So Alive" and "Coming Down") but unfortunately got dropped before the cd was ever released. You can’t buy The Rising’s CD, but.. you can still get a copy of those songs (exactly the same version) on Film’s EP "rolling", available from Amazon or iTunes.
