Box of Rain

Lon Frazier did an amazing job explaining the cultural experience of The Grateful Dead. Listening to each of the documentary guests and Lon share their experiences, seeing the photos and video clips took me back to my own time of stumbling into this magical experience when I needed it in my life. The music, the kindness and the love in the community is the most uplifting experience anyone can ask for. Lon brought the experience to life again through this documentary. I recommend all Deadheads watch this and share with others who are unfamiliar with the experience so they may be uplifted as well! Great job Lon!

Lonnie Frazier has created a wonderful addition to the archives of the Grateful Dead and Deadhead history with her documentary Box of Rain.

With heartfelt honesty and bravery, Frazier shares her personal journey to the land of the Dead. And she opens the space for others to share their journeys along the way, illuminated by happy meet ups, warm memories, wonderment and love for that band beyond description that has changed all of our lives for the better.

This film stands as a testament to that magic that we know and love so well. And as a testament to the Deadhead community and that there really is goodness in the world.

Buckle up for a journey you won't forget. Lonnie Frazier in her debut documentary takes on a colorful, profoundly touching, cross-country road trip visiting longtime devotees of the Grateful Dead along the way. You'll be treated to vivid flashbacks, vintage photography, and most of all the introspective reflections on how the Dead community enriched the lives of so many. Lonnie, herself, a survivor of a brutal assault, recounts how discovering the Dead brought her back to life. Hers is just one intimate story shared in this beautiful, life-transforming film that reaffirms how music can heal the soul like nothing else. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

Lovely story of discovery and renewal. Watch it over and over to catch all the cosmic love letters and tales from the various narrators.

Lonnie and team did a great job curating these scenes and contributors.

Really enjoyable and relatable film that explores an interesting American Subculture: Deadheads. Deadheads are super fans of the Grateful Dead. They created their own community and culture with their own set of rules and traditions. Box of Rain shows those of us who weren't part of that community what it was all about, and undoubtably will take Deadheads on an enjoyable trip down memory lane. The archival photos and footage really brought the scene to life. Especially when combined with the interviews! The filmmakers interviewed a whole range of people, from fans who only saw a few shows, to some very prominent Deadheads. The whole film is tied together with the story of how the director got involved with the Deadhead community in the early 1980s and how it changed her life. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who loves music, travel, and anyone who dances to the beat of their own drummer. Or in the case of the Grateful Dead, two drummers.
