member early on one woman
sent me a private message. She
said she was in her 50s now and
it was her dad who listened to
WHFS. He was the one who
brought the station to her and it
changed her life. She said, ‘I’m
so grateful to my dad and when
I told him you are making the
movie, he started crying.’”
The film is about 99% finished
and deep into post, but they are
still shooting a few pickup in-
terviews to fill holes in the story.
The goal is to have a completed
film by the spring and then to
see where it goes from there,
whether that means the film fes-
tival route, theaters, streaming
services, international distribu-
tion, or something else. Judging
by the interest the documentary
has already seen, its story is much
larger than the station’s original
reach. It will appeal to music fans
who grew up listening to the sta-
tion as well as those interested in
radio and radio history.
