about the project and casting

The mystique surrounding Moondog, the blind composer and street musician known as “The Viking of 6th Avenue,” has captivated audiences anew, thanks to recent documentaries exploring his life and artistry. A pioneer of minimalist music and an eccentric figure in mid-20th-century New York, Moondog’s story is one of resilience, genius, and individuality. With his distinctive persona and innovative compositions, his life offers a rich narrative ripe for a Hollywood biopic, blending the drama of his personal struggles with the vibrancy of his artistic legacy.
