The Golden Bouzouki

Johnny Diamonds stars as Johnny Orpheus in this musical adventure set in ancient mythological Greece. Johnny returns home to the once peaceful village of Salamis to find that it has come upon troubled times. Assembling a crew of heroes like no other, Johnny sets sail on a song-filled voyage of adventure to obtain the Golden Bouzouki, a legendary musical instrument of divine origin which is said to bring peace to the hearts of all mankind. Directed by Phil Steve (Not Rated, 1 hour, 48 minutes).

The Golden Bouzouki is a lavish zero-budget special effects extravaganza combining inspiration from films like Jason and the Argonauts, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, and Hercules in the Haunted World with Elvis Presley vehicles like Spinout, Roustabout, and Kid Galahad. It’s a Rock-N-Roll Musical Adventure bursting with artistic creativity, lighthearted humor, and catchy songs.

Filmed in locations around the central California coast, this sand-and-sandals epic features musical and acting performances by members of local bands like The Bananas, Hod and The Helpers, The Four Eyes, Personal and the Pizzas, and Knock Knock.
