This was my life signs with bayview entertainment
BayView Entertainment will be the distributor for This Was My Life: Nick Menza’s Metal Memories with Megadeth and Beyond!
It’s official! We signed off on the distribution deal with BayView Entertainment. They will be the ones helping to facilitate getting the film out to audiences across the world. This is our second feature film that we have entrusted to BayView – they also represent our film ‘My Autopsy’. We look forward to many more shared successes as we move forward with our relationship with them.
“I’m a part of the ‘90s generation. The soundtrack of our lives played every day on MTV was ‘Headbangers Ball,’” director Holly Grayson said in a statement. “At that time, Nick was making his mark as a metal legend in Megadeth, and I was very familiar with his work. I am honored to be able to explore who he was beyond his amazing talent for the drums.”
“Nick had a storied career and an even more incredible life,” Menza’s former Megadeth bandmate David Ellefson said in a statement. “I’m proud to be part of this documentary and can’t wait for fans to see this beautiful story unfold.”
“The Menza family is super excited to finally see this film come to fruition, and even more excited to have David narrating the exciting and unique life that Nick lived. I am honored to be a part of this film and to be able to share stories of my wonderful and loving brother,” Donia Menza Ontiveros said in a statement.
“We are thrilled to work with Nick Menza’s estate, and with Dave Ellefson, Jeff Young and other former Megadeth members as well as other legendary metal figures to bring this release to worldwide audiences,” BayView Entertainment VP of acquisitions Peter Castro said in a statement. “It is an honor to celebrate Nick’s legacy and help to carry it forward.”
