Amies was originally approached by Robert Fripp and David Singleton to make a documentary about the band. Amies was not familiar with King Crimson's music but Fripp had liked his earlier film ''The Man Whose Mind Exploded'' and thought he'd be a suitable person to document the band on its 50th anniversary. Amies' original title for the film was ''Cosmic [=FuKc=]'' but after he showed an early cut to Fripp, it was decided that the film wasn't quite there yet.

* GainaxEnding: The final scene in the documentary has Amies in a room with Fripp, backstage:
-->'''Amies''': What have I missed?
-->'''Fripp''': Everything. You missed everything. There was a determining, critical and pivotal scene in which the history, the origins and the future of King Crimson were presented. And you were not there. Thus rendering this DVD ineffectual and of little use or interest to all.
-->[''Fripp heads for the exit.'']
-->'''Amies''': ... Thanks.
-->[''Fripp looks at him briefly and leaves.'']

Fripp recalls meeting Bennett and introducing himself, and Bennett asking his name, then Bennett shook his hand... At this point Fripp falls silent for well over a minute, and the camera holds on his face while he stares into space, and then tears can be seen falling down his cheeks. After a very long silence, Fripp resumes by saying that Bennett told him "I'll remember you."[[note]]This was not actually to be; Bennett died before Fripp could start his residential course at Bennett's institute, which is presumably one reason why he was so affected by the memory of their only meeting.[[/note]]

Some time later, the final film was premiered at SXSW.
Amies interviewed numerous former bandmembers (although not all of them) and had quite a lot of access to the band--something which ended up being a theme in the film, the issue of what exactly a documentary filmmaker had the right to include or exclude. The film was not a conventional documentary in that it didn't offer a narrative history of the band and had no narrator. The result was highly acclaimed as a film that aimed to show creative people doing what they do, and talking about why they do what they do.
