MVD Entertainment Group will be guiding the Blue Hats Creative production of documentary filmmaker Sarah Price’s tell-all about L7 grunge rockers, L7: Pretend We're Dead, to market on Friday, Oct. 13, as a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack.

Award-winning producer/director Sarah Price took up the challenge of L7’s fans and a self-funded Kickstarter campaign to cull through something like 100 hours worth of vintage “home movies” (meaning: fan videos and material shot by the various members of the band) to compile the backbone of the documentary L7: Pretend We're Dead.   

It would be just that, a collection of this and that from 1985 to 2001 (when the band imploded), but a funny thing happened on the way to assembling the final product, Price got Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner — the band’s founders — back together again after a 14-year breakup.   

Next came bassist Jennifer Finch and drummer Dee Plaka and voilà L7 is holding reunion concerts and L7: Pretend We're Dead, with the four talking openly about the past, was now a complete story that was ready to be told … the finished product even surprised the band members and it will certainly please the fans.

A limited theatrical break is planned over the Labor Day weekend.

As to bonus goodies, MVD Entertainment Group will be including Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic’s 1998 “quasi-documentary,” L7: The Beauty Process, bonus footage with Faith No More, Fugazi, Helmet and Nirvana and two vintage live performances — “Pretend We’re Dead” and “Shove” — both performed at Live the Word in Holland in 1992.
