Bernard MacMahon and Allison McGourty undertook a challenging project to create a film about Led Zeppelin, requiring extensive research and a storyboard. They detailed the band's formation in the late 60s, focusing on musicians like Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, and noted their success despite media avoidance. After preparing for rejection due to the band’s history, they secured a meeting with Page in 2017. This meeting proved pivotal as Page opened up about his past with old diaries, fostering a collaborative spirit for the documentary.
MacMahon knew the risks involved in making a film about Led Zeppelin, as they historically avoided media and may not agree to participate.
The filmmakers spent ten months researching Led Zeppelin’s history, focusing on the early years when the band formed and quickly gained fame.
