  • William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet is a feature-length documentary about a ballet by Margo Sappington called "Common People", which was set to the music of William Shatner and Ben Folds from their album Has Been. Common People was one of the Has Been tracks, and was a cover of a Pulp song from their 1995 Different Class album. The film explores the genesis of this unique artistic collaboration by fusing the music, poetry, and dance of "Common People" with interviews of the creators, dancers, and audience members, and featuring interviews with William Shatner, Ben Folds, Margo Sappington, and Henry Rollins. The film was made by Special Entertainment and Big Screen Entertainment Group in association with Melis Productions and will be distributed by Big Screen Entertainment Group for a 2009 release. The documentary had a very well-received World Premiere at the Nashville Film Festival in April of 2009. William Shatner attended and, to the delight of the audience, provided additional insights into his recording of "Has Been" and the ballet. Ben Folds and Margo Sappington were also in attendance. Variety magazine called the film "surprisingly revealing" and indieWire reviewed that "Shatner comes across as a true original. " After the premiere in Nashville the film screened at the Rhode Island Film Festival and is an official entry at the Marbella International Film Festival, DocFest Stratford, the Milwaukee Film Festival, the Edmonton International Film Festival, and the San Diego Film Festival.
