Strung is the resilient, first-time filmmaking debut that Bez and Reid could once only dream of. With the relentless and generous work of so many wonderful collaborators, that once-distant dream became reality…and it all hinged upon the incredible work of Strung’s leading man, Jeromy Darling. Having worked in rehab centers and using the power of music to heal since he was sixteen, Jeromy’s life embodies exactly the compassion and forgiveness that Bez and Reid stand for. The story of Strung was conceived by Mr. Darling, based on the countless stories he’s lived in his life of service. From there it was pure determination, love, and care from more than thirty individuals involved in the process, that brought this story to life. The directors are proud to offer this as their first work, and hope that it awakens some part of your imagination, and gives some healing to that inner child, who, despite often losing sight of them, lives strongly within us til our dying day. Never give up on that child within, so we may understand, teach, and raise our own children with the love they deserve.
