Restrung (2014): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2014, Restrung is a music and documentary film directed by Mike Enns, running about 56 minutes. “From electrifying success to near break-down, this is a true tale of a man with a mad plan whose life was unwound - and restrung.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. He had always considered making guitars a passion, not an occupation, but in 2007, Randall Wyn Fullmer, an ordinary guy with a cat, turned his lifelong hobby into a full-out obsession. To launch on this adventure, he did what anyone else would do - he quit his high paying job at Disney, leaving behind a successful 20 year career. It seemed to make so much sense at the time! With Disney in the rear-view, Randall launched his self-proclaimed 'Mad Plan' and began crafting small-batch bass guitars full time. From a beginner's electrifying success to near break-down, this is a beautiful, honest and inspirational portrait of a passionate craftsperson who walked headlong into a foolhardy dream. This is a true tale of a life unwound and restrung.

Who’s in it. Restrung stars Randy Fullmer as Himself, Abraham Laboriel as Himself and James Lomenzo as Himself.
