Director-producer Seth Swirsky — a bestselling author, singer-songwriter, and member of the band The Red Button — grew up in the 1960s, fell in love with the music of The Beatles, and followed the lead of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr to a future in the music business.
After Swirsky was invited in 2004 to perform at The Beatles' old Liverpool haunt, the Cavern Club, he began asking locals about The Beatles. To his surprise, these strangers shared their fondest recollections about the band; treasured stories he had never heard before, which Swirsky captured on his hand-held video camera. That prompted him to wonder how many more stories are out there that people have never heard about The Beatles stories, which prompted him to start the Beatles Stories project.
