I’m An Electric Lampshade
John is the writer and director of I’M AN ELECTRIC LAMPSHADE (2023), an experimental docu-fantasy based on the true story of Doug McCorkle, a buttoned-up, mild mannered corporate accountant who retires at age 60 to become the world’s least likely rock star. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction as Doug puts his marriage, life savings and reputation on the line to chase his lifelong fantasy. An inspiring underdog story about finding your unique voice — I’M AN ELECTRIC LAMPSHADE is a film that proves it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. John also produced the original soundtrack of the music-centric film, which was shot in the United States, Mexico and the Philippines with an international cast, all chasing the same dream as McCorkle. The film appeared at two dozen international film festivals and won many awards including two for Best Director.
