Who the Fuck is That Guy?: The Fabulous Journey of Michael Alago (2017)

In the riveting documentary, "Who The Fuck Is That Guy? The Fabulous Journey Of Michael Alago," viewers are drawn into the extraordinary life of Michael Alago, a gay Puerto Rican teenager from a Hasidic neighborhood in Brooklyn. This is no ordinary tale, but an exhilarating musical odyssey that begins with a single subway ride and winds its way through the heart of New York City, forever altering the global musical landscape. Directed by Drew Stone and produced by Michael Alex, the film paints a vivid picture of Alago's meteoric rise from a music-loving teenager rubbing shoulders with the city's scene makers at iconic venues like Max's Kansas City and CBGB, to a 19-year-old talent booker at the legendary Ritz, sparking a rock 'n' roll renaissance. By 24, he's an A&R executive, signing one of the greatest metal bands of all time, Metallica, thus etching his name in the annals of music history. Alago's passion for music crosses all genres, working with a diverse range of artists from White Zombie and Johnny Rotten to Cyndi Lauper and jazz legend Nina Simone. His mantra: great music, ANY great music, must be shared with the world. However, this insatiable passion and the excesses it brings, eventually leads Alago into the jaws of substance abuse and AIDS. But even in the face of such adversity, Alago's spirit remains unbroken. Surviving both afflictions, he re-emerges, reborn as an art photographer, his zest for life, music, and art as infectious as ever. Told through Alago's own words, along with the voices of the artists he championed, and punctuated with a stunning array of personal photographs, the film takes you on a wild, tender, self-destructive, and utterly inspiring journey. This is the story of a man who loved music so much, he risked everything to bring it to the world - and lived, just barely, to narrate his fabulous journey.
