After John received a call from film director Sofia Coppola, who wanted to use Heavy Metal Parking Lot for a cable TV show in 1994, he and Jeff dusted off the film and began to have screenings again. By the late 90s, the film became a regular staple at alternative film festivals and venues throughout the U.S. Today, the film continues to screen around the world, and is considered among the greatest rock documentaries of all time.
