IMDb profile

William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet is a feature-length documentary about a ballet by Margo Sappington called "Common People", which was set to the music of William Shatner and Ben Folds from their album Has Been. "Common People" was one of the Has Been tracks, and was a cover of a Pulp song from their 1995 Different Class album. The film explores the genesis of this unique artistic collaboration by fusing the music, poetry, and dance of "Common People" with interviews of the creators, dancers, and audience members.

Featuring interviews with William Shatner, Ben Folds, Margo Sappington, and Henry Rollins.

The film, currently in post-production, was made by Special Entertainment in association with Melis Productions and will be distributed by Big Screen Entertainment Group for a 2008 release.
