From the acclaimed filmmakers behind Quant and Ronnie’s, and made in partnership with the Cochran Family Estate, Don’t Forget Me is the definitive cinematic biography of rock ’n’ roll icon Eddie Cochran. Despite his life being tragically cut short at just 21, Cochran’s pioneering sound left an immeasurable impact on the landscape of modern music.
This intimate portrait beautifully weaves newly unearthed archival footage with powerful testimonies from music and culture legends including Keith Richards, Sting, Sir Rod Stewart, and Ronnie Wood. The film offers a moving look at the duality of his life: a devoted family man brimming with potential, and a legendary artist whose electrifying voice continues to inspire generations.
The Northern Premiere of Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me is a fitting celebration of storytelling, music and the power of cultural partnerships. As we mark ten years of the Sir Graham Wylie Foundation’s and its recent support for our Talent Unit, we’re also celebrating the young filmmakers and creatives whose careers are being shaped through that investment.
