Here, There & Everywhere is a feature length documentary created by and for fans of all ages, celebrating over half a century of Beatles fandom in all its glory.

A kaleidoscope of stories and performances from musicians, authors, artists, experts, collectors and friends and family of The Beatles. From fans who were there at the very start to teenagers who are discovering them anew in the 21st century, “Here, There & Everywhere” is the ultimate fan family album; an opportunity for The Beatles family to come together and deliver a love letter to the greatest band of all time. 

With hundreds of hours of material to work from, we are raising money to complete the edit, clear music, image and archive rights before creating a downloadable version of the film, limited edition DVDs, BlueRays and a host of very special and unique perks for our backers.

ABOUT HERE, THERE & EVERYWHERE

WATCH MORE CLIPS FROM HERE, THERE & EVERYWHERE

​Here, There & Everywhere was created by me, Simon Weitzman, a network TV director and author. After working on a series of Beatles books I decided I wanted to make a film about the extraordinary fan family that adopted me on my travels to events and festivals. I’ve been joined on this adventure by a fantastic video editor, Andy Lee, who is also a lifelong Beatles fan.

Our mission is to create a celebratory film for every Beatles fan on the planet, across the universe and beyond. Thousands of fans have followed the project’s evolution at festivals and on social media, and now it’s finally about to become a reality. 

We have the footage, the skills and the love to make a wonderful and uplifting movie for everyone. Now we’re asking you, our FABulous Beatles family, to join us by contributing any amount you choose so we can bring Here, There & Everywhere to your homes and theatre screens. We can’t wait to show it to you! 

We’ve created perks which are rewards we’re offering to backers in return for contributing to help us complete the film. Have a look through and select something you like From £5 to £20,000. Each contribution will help towards paying for music and archive rights and other post production costs. Everyone who goes for a physical perk will have their name listed amongst our backers at the end of the film.

‘Coming Apart’ by Tom Murray (Artist’s Proof)

In the early summer of 1968, The Beatles took a break from recording the White Album to spend a day shooting new publicity images around London, in what became known as the ‘Mad Day Out’.​

Tom Murray, who was 25 at the time, is now a famous award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in many leading magazines. He says the shoot “was the perfect assignment and a day to remember”.​

This C-Type photographic print is the one-of-a-kind artist’s proof (20″ x 24″ from a subsequent edition of 185), hand signed by Tom above his embossed stamp.
