Just a week before the kick-off of Sundance 2014, director James D. Cooper has slipped his documentary Lambert & Stamp into the film festival. While there's plenty of information out there about Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp-- the management team every bit as self-contradictory, self destructive, and flamboyant as their clients, The Who-- there isn't much to glean about Lambert & Stamp. There are two imdb pages for men named James D. Cooper, one of whom is credited as prop guy on a short called "Dolls for Strangers, the other being credited with zilch, so it's probably safe to assume this is his first film. However, we do have this official synopsis from indiewire.com:
LAMBERT & STAMP / U.S.A. (Director: James D. Cooper) —
In this crazy, chaotic gospel of chance, aspiring filmmakers Chris Stamp and
Kit Lambert set out to search for a subject for their underground movie,
leading them to discover, mentor, and manage the iconic band known as The Who
and create rock 'n' roll history.
Following its screening at Sundance's U.S. fest, Lambert & Stamp will play at the Sundance London festival, which takes place from April 25 through the 27th.
