Entertainment lawyer Steven C. Beer focuses his career on the film, music, and entertainment industries. Also a published author, he wrote the book Your Child’s Career in Music and Entertainment: The Prudent Parent’s Guide from Startup to Stardom and is a frequent lecturer and writer on topics involving the film industry. Additionally, he negotiates many deals involving rights for film and television projects, including a documentary directed by Jonathan Sutak titled Dons of Disco.
Screened in 2019 at the Slamdance Film Festival and winner of a Jury Award at the Lighthouse International Film Festival, the documentary Dons of Disco covers the controversy surrounding an Italian pop star in the 1980s named Den Harrow. The pop star initially topped the charts in Europe with such hits as Bad Boy, Don’t Break My Heart, and Future Brain. It was not until 30 years later that the lip-synching controversy covered in the documentary film surfaced. An American named Tom Hooker has alleged that it was his voice behind the pop star’s fame, and that Stefano Zandri (Den Harrow was a name coined by producers) had been lip-synching the entire time. The documentary is set to be released on numerous digital platforms, including YouTube, AppleTV, and Amazon Prime.
