Sony Pictures Television is behind the documentary, “Who You Gonna Call?” which chronicles the life of Grammy-winning musician Ray Parker Jr. His smash hit “Ghostbusters” is one of the most recognizable songs for many generations.
It's directed by award-winning filmmaker Fran Strine (“Hired Gun”), and the documentary follows Parker’s struggles growing up on the racially charged streets of Detroit in the 1960s and escaping violence to rise in the music industry, where he toured with Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones at the age of 18. The film looks back on Parker’s successful music career before getting the call from Ivan Reitman to write and perform the hit song for the 1984 film “Ghostbusters.”
“Who You Gonna Call?” had its world premiere at the Zurich Film Festival on September 26.
