Initially, I thought The Blinkumentary would simply be a tour documentary, but now that seems to be a small part of a much more complex idea (especially since you're filming the group's recording process.) What are your goals for this film? What type of story do you want to tell?
The Blinkumentary has had many incarnations. We are still discussing what the film will finally consist of.
At this stage of the production, the film will be released in two parts: First, the band reuniting, becoming blink-182 again, and the tour that followed. We have shot hundreds of hours of footage for just that. We want to give and tell the story without having to cut it too short.
The second part will cover the band returning to the studio to record the new album. We want each story be told in its entirety.

Over the years, all members of blink have progressed as musicians, fathers and people. Will The Blinkumentary touch on any of those aspects (i.e., Travis's solo career; +44; Mark's production projects and Tom's role as the frontman for AVA)? If so, how will you go about it? If not, why leave it out?
Yes, we have touched on some of that. For this film we mostly wanted to show them reuniting as a band, and as friends, and touring.

When can fans expect The Blinkumentary to hit screens?
We have been working with the band and their management people to have an exact release date. So far, it’s looks like fans will see the first installation by mid-summer.
