It's been more than 20 years since Stewart Copeland ended his tenure as drummer for The Police after a string of platinum albums and era-defining singles. The band members went their separate ways: Sting, to a solo career and mainstream celebrity; guitarist Andy Summers, to the relative obscurity of jazz; and Copeland, to a prolific career as a composer for film.
After his breakthrough soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's "Rumble Fish" in 1983, Copeland has scored any number of great movies for directors like Oliver Stone, Ken Loach and John Waters.
After years of working on other people's films, Copeland has finally made one of his own. "Everyone Stares/The Police Inside Out" is a documentary shot (mostly) by Copeland on a Super-8 camera during his days with the band. Edited down from over 50 hours of raw footage, the film gives the musician's view of what it's like to be on the receiving end of the rush of rock superstardom.
