SXSW 2018 Exclusive Clip: BEING FRANK: THE CHRIS SIEVEY STORY, David Soul Is Left Befuddled
Set to enjoy its world premiere at SXSW 2018 next Tuesday, March 13 at 9:00 PM (Alamo Ritz 1 - limited seating capacity, get there early), Steve Sullivan's debut feature documentary Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story "tells a twisted tale of split personalities."
That's according to the official verbiage. Here's more about it:

We have a hilarious clip from the film for you to enjoy. Watch it below. And if all goes as planned, we'll have a review from a member of our intrepid festival crew in the days ahead.
