Slash is ready to move beyond his rock star image and is eager for people to recognize his creative work outside of music.
In a recent interview with The Times, Slash shared his desire to be seen as more than just a guitar player. “I need people to stop looking at me as the guitar player,” he said.
The conversation stemmed from his ambition to produce films. Slash started producing films in 2013 with ‘Nothing Left to Fear.’ His current project is ‘The Crow Girl,’ a psychological thriller series based on a bestselling novel. It’s his biggest project yet. “It’s a Catch-22. Having a name helps get a meeting, but that can overshadow the project,” he added. “It’s great for a foot in the door, but harder to get people to take you seriously.”
Slash joined the creative team for ‘The Crow Girl’ last year. As an Executive Producer on the series, Slash also contributed to the soundtrack alongside composer Adam Price. He is known for his work on ‘Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1’ and ‘Black Adam.’
In May, the guitarist visited the full crew on location in Bristol. Producer Andy Mosse shared a photo from the visit and praised Slash’s involvement in the film.
‘The Crow Girl’ is directed by Charles Martin and Rebecca Rycroft, with Andy Mosse as the producer. The show was commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell and Paul Testar for Paramount+.
