About the Film

“Pre Fab!”(NR, USA/UK, 2023, 1 hour, 36 minutes)
Pre Fab! Has been called “the last Beatles story to tell about how it all began.” The film chronicles the rise of skiffle music and its impact on post-World War II British youth, the influence of American Rock ‘n’ Roll and how, in 1956, a boy named John Lennon rounded up friends including Paul McCartney and George Harrison to form a group called The Quarrymen.

About the Speaker

Director Todd Thompson of Orlando’s Star North Films will introduce his film and answer questions after the screening. Thompson is a creative director, producer, and writer who has enjoyed a career both in front and behind the camera. His favorite role, however, has always been that of a storyteller.
