Documentary of Dave Cloud & The Gospel of Power's 2006 European tour, during which the group played a dozen shows in the UK and Norway. Directed by Nashvillian Michael Carter, the film chronicles the day-to-day lives of Cloud and band members Matt Bach, Matt Swanson and Ben Martin, from gritty London to picturesque Bergen. Includes concert footage from several shows.

In May 2008 the film had its world premiere at Bergenfest (during the band's second European tour) and U.S. premiere at Nashville's Belcourt Theatre.

Anheuser-Busch's spring 2008 "True Dedication" ad campaign for Budweiser beer featured Dave Cloud as a mentor for an unnamed band of Nashville musicians. Created by ad agency Fallon for the UK market, the campaign included several TV spots filmed in Nashville and directed by Harmony Korine (produced by 2AM Films).

The ads show the band playing the 1969 tune "Popcorn" and Salt-n-Pepa's "Push It," and jamming free-style at Springwater (Cloud's hometown hangout). The band members include Lucas Leigh, John Sharp, Rob Cureton, Brian Kotzur, Sami Elamri and William Tyler (who contributed guitar work on Cloud's album Pleasure Before Business).

In his first proper acting part, Dave Cloud is the quintessential "bad role model" for his young boy in this satirical examination of masculinity and gender roles in the American family. Chris Crofton plays the unfortunate son as an adult—now married and with a child of his own.

Written by Seth Pomeroy and Shane Kennedy, the film was made in Nashville, Tennessee, by Hot Heat Productions. The film won several awards in Nashville's 48 Hour Film Project in 2006: First Runner Up, Best Family, Honorable Mention—Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor (for Chris Crofton).

Caution: strong language and some violence.

This video portrait of Dave Cloud captures the many incarnations of his mischievous and creative spirit: karaoke king, garage-rock shaman, genial trickster, and spinner of tales.
