ABOUT THE WAREHOUSE
A new feature film, The Warehouse, will celebrate Chicago's legendary Warehouse afterhours club, where the internationally recognized House Music genre was born, pioneered by owner
Robert Williams and the Godfather of House Music, GRAMMY Award-winning
Frankie Knuckles (1955-2014). The film will be produced by Bob Teitel (Men of Honor, Barber Shop), Billy Dec (Rockit Ranch/Elston Films, Randy Crumpton (The Truth) and Joe Shanahan (Metro/Smartbar/Double Door).
The film will pay tribute to the life story of The Warehouse owner Robert Williams and legacy of Knuckles' timeless artistry. Williams' Warehouse, shortened to "House" by its loyal followers, is where House Music got its name. The Warehouse club inspired a movement, transforming the music scene with a unique mix of pulsating rhythem and beats, combined with classic disco, soul, gospel and rock, creating modern dance music's global DJ culture.
To kick-off THE WAREHOUSE film production, the producers will host a launch party and Frankie Knuckles Foundation (FKF) Benefit at The Underground (56 W. Illinois St), at 6pm on
Tuesday, March 31.
Tickets start at $20 and include a two hour cocktail and hors d'oeuvres reception from 6 PM to 8 PM.
