A passionate storytelling desire
According to Rachel Shenton, “Stoke-on-Trent often gets media attention for all the wrong reasons and even though Monkey Dust (a terrible synthetic drug) has a tight grip on the city. That bleak description doesn’t tell the full story.” She goes on to add, “While Sticks & Shelter proves that addiction and loneliness don’t discriminate, it’s also a hopeful story of friendship, love and music.”
Chris Overton shares a similar sentiment. On the motivations of the documentary, he points out he, “One of the biggest driving forces behind Sticks & Shelter is seeing Micky’s lost passion for music and drums rekindled in rare moments. My hope is that with the support of Lou Macari and a concert deadline, Mickey can get another chance.”
