Space.com's Doris Elin Salazar writes about "Lunar Tribute":

The film's director, Robert Lewis, said he was inspired to make the movie by a photo of a photo: an image of a family portrait lying on the dusty and rocky regolith of the moon. Duke, once concerned that his commitments to the Apollo 16 mission were isolating his wife, Dorothy, and his two small sons, Charlie and Tom, decided to ask permission to bring a photo of the four of them and leave it on the lunar surface.
Drummer Jojo Mayer is perhaps less well-known than Duke, but his performance in "Lunar Tribute" makes him an equally compelling on-screen co-star. Lewis filmed Mayer playing bombastic, controlled drum solos to accompany the former moonwalker's testimony. The Swiss musician's dynamic stylings did as much to tell the space-travel story as Duke's words: The sounds felt like the palpitations inside the body of a space traveler, and invited the crowd to imagine the booming one could have heard from the Saturn V rocket that launched the mission as it took off on April 16, 1972, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

I've been looking but can't find a way to view this film. Is it available online/download?

Robert Pearlman

The film has had its premiere screening (as noted above) but it does not appear that future screenings or distribution have been announced yet.

Just talked to Rob Lewis and asked him, "Is it available online/downloadable? His answer, "No." Thought I'd get a little bit more of answer.

Really wanted to see this. Not impressed, sorry.

Mr. Lewis must follow this board. I received this prompt response from him.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. The movie just premiered and due to regulations and contracts "Lunar Tribute" is only allow to show at film festivals in the US and Switzerland for now.
I am sorry if my no hurt your feelings. I would love to stream it out!

Thanks for clarifying this!

Philip

New premiere by the end of June 2019.
