ST Film Project in the Works?

PBS/Burns Show Interest

Until now no one has dared to tell the definative story of rock icons Situation Tranquil. But famed documentary filmamke Ken Burns (The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, Pick Up Point, Ostfildern) is in preliminary discussions with Situation Tranquil's management team. Burns hopes to be able to gain permission to produce a 35 hour, 19-part documentary delving into the life and times of the band and its members.

"We can never underestimate the importance of this band and their music. They have left a permanent mark on not just our society but all of human kind." Said Burns. "I want to finally tell the whole story, blemishes and all."

The plan would be to begin production in the fall. PBS has cleared six weeks of airtime for the summer of 2007.

"We are talking. We are seeing what this is all about. Naturally we wouldn't sell our souls for nothing." Said guitartist Iggy Burnett.

"It's about time the boys get their story told. They are a special group of guys who have transformed our world in a profound way." Said PBS chairman Leonard Horton. "We at PBS see this as a public service. It is responsibilty to expose the true greatness that is ST."
