Set against a backdrop of early 60's London, TELSTAR is the story of the world's first independant record producer, Joe Meek. A maverick genius who enjoyed phenomenal early success with Telstar - the biggest selling record of its time - before bad luck, depression, heartbreak and paranoia led to his downfall. This stranger than fiction true story is a satirical comic drama revealing the many sides of a man who is now revered as a pioneer of popular music. Directed and co-written by Nock Moran, TELSTAR features an impressive cast. Con O'Neill (Criminal Justice) stars alongside Kevin Spacey (American Beauty), Ralf Little (The Royale Family) and James Corden (Gavin & Stacey).
