The Documentary 'The Lost Weekend: A Love Story' Starring John Lennon And May Pang Briarcliff Has Purchased It

Briarcliff Entertainment has purchased the documentary movie The Lost Weekend: A Love Story, in which May Pang recalls her passionate love affair with artist John Lennon when she was only 23 years old and his secretary.

Eve Brandstein, Richard Kaufman, and Stuart Samuels directed the film, which premiered at Tribeca. The story is portrayed from May’s point of view, revealing a love connection that molded Lennon’s post-Beatles creative time.

Briarcliff’s documentary will be released on digital and Blu-ray by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment on October 13, 2023, the week of John Lennon’s birthday.

Pang’s narrative, a lesser-known part in the life of late Beatles vocalist John Lennon, took 50 years to tell on film. She describes her 18-month connection with John, which she managed herself. During this time, May assisted John in reuniting with his son Julian Lennon and witnessed firsthand his most productive post-Beatles period. This included albums like Mind Games and Walls and Bridges, as well as collaborations with David Bowie and Elton John. The film includes appearances by Julian Lennon, Mick Jagger, Alice Cooper, and Paul McCartney as May describes her first unforgettable love as a 23-year-old.

“After 50 years, I finally get to share my story of John and myself through my eyes and my voice,” Pang explained. “I want to thank Tom Ortenberg for making this a reality for me.”

“As a music lover and a real fan of the Beatles, I am excited to partner with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and this group of incredible filmmakers to share May’s amazing story with audiences,” said Briarcliff CEO Ortenberg.The Lost Weekend is a story that will speak to everyone who is fascinated by John Lennon’s magic and the intricacies of human relationships.”

Produced by Christal Curry, Brandstein, Kaufman, and Samuels. Micki Purcell, Peggy Taylor, Eric DeWitt, Randy & Sherry Fix, Kate & Hans Morris, Fred Freeman, Harri Mark, Bob Francis, and Jonathan Gould are among the executive producers.

Briarcliff Entertainment’s Tom Ortenberg and Jessica Rose arranged the contract. Here is the trailer they created:
