SONY PICTURES CLASSICS TAKES GRATEFUL DAWG WORLDWIDE

1-March-01. New York. Sony Pictures Classics announced today the worldwide acquisition of Gillian Grisman's touching documentary GRATEFUL DAWG.

The film follows the final years of legendary guitarist Jerry Garcia. Directed by Gillian Grisman, the documentary shares the unique musical friendship between Garcia and famed mandolinist and recording artist, David Grisman. The filmmaker Grisman, affectionately captures the creative chemistry between her father, David Grisman, and Jerry Garcia, sharing with the audience some of the more intimate moments from studio and living room jam sessions. GRATEFUL DAWG offers an insider's look at one of acoustic music's most endearing and enduring musical kinships.

"We are thrilled to have this film," notes Tom Bernard, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics. "As a tribute to these great artists, we are planning to open the film on August 1, Jerry Garcia's birthday.

GRATEFUL DAWG gives you the rare glimpse into the soul of Garcia and is destined to become a classic."

"This film is not about Jerry Garcia, the rock icon," says Gillian Grisman. "It shows another side of him, a guy in sweatpants, eating a sandwich in my dad's basement, pickin' tunes and singing songs, a Jerry who was relaxed and having fun."
