Live From the Space Stage: A Halyx Story

Before this film, nobody knew what Halyx was. A pretty bold statement I know, considering the fact that everything that Disney touches is so well documented and preserved. When we released this film people were dumbfounded. Richard Kraft, the most prolific collector of Disneyland antiquities, had never heard of them. Reporters who had been reporting on all things Disneyland for decades asked us if we were joking. When Disney got reached out to asking if they knew what Halyx was they went into their archives and pulled out a single photo and two newspaper clippings. It had been swept aside into the dustbin of forgotten history...well almost.

When I first heard about the band, I heard about it from my producer Kevin, who had heard the band mentioned briefly by Podcast The Ride co-host Scott Gairdner, who himself had heard about the band from a Hollywood producer who mentioned to him that he had seen the band as a child in passing. It's a textbook example of how most rumors are spread except in this case, it was the beginnings of history being saved.

It's a miracle this film was made, that we found the materials that we found, and that we finished editing the film during a global pandemic. Now that it's been released to the world, I can sleep happily now knowing that somewhere out there someone is watching this film and slowly realizing that their new favorite Disney tune is a rock song called "Jailbait".
