Filmmaker/Singer-Songwriter Seth Swirsky

There are interviews that are enjoyable...and then there are interviews that touch your heart and soul....and for me, the latter category holds true for the conversation you're about to hear.

Like myself, singer-songwriter Seth Swirsky has been a lifelong Beatles fan...and in his 40's, he decided to put that devotion to work and make a film that not only gathered together a stellar group of pop culture laden individuals (Beach Boy Brian Wilson, Oscar Winner Ben Kingsley, CSNY's Graham Nash, Motown Legend Smokey Robinson, and many, many more) to tell their share their stories of meeting John, Paul, George, and Ringo, but also serve as a cinematic testament to their greatness.

Beatles Stories is the end result of six years of work that has already received rave reviews from film festival audiences and kudos from Oscar Winning director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire) who calls it “a timeless masterwork”.

I truly hope you enjoy this interview, particularly the sequences where Seth talks of meeting one of his music idols in a most unusual setting, while I recall a spontaneous, unforgettable run-in with rock royalty who served as one of The Beatles' biggest influences...and I thank them for providing me with a moment I've never forgotten.
