Sib Hashian’s wife reflects on his life and movie premiere
A documentary film on drummer Sib Hashian of the band Boston titled “BackBeat from Above: The Legacy of Sib Hashian” premiered at the Regent Theatre in Arlington on Sunday.
Hashian’s wife, Suzanne Hashian, was in attendance at the theatre, where all 500 seats were sold out for the premiere. She said that she was “overwhelmed” with the support and love shown at the event.
She credited director John Ippolito and producer Sarah Hale Folger for the great response the film has received so far.
“They put so much love into the film,” she said. “We were either laughing or crying. There was just so much they covered. I had not seen the film beforehand. I did not want to pre-screen because I wanted to take the journey with everybody else that came to see it.”
The proceeds from the documentary, Suzanne Hashian said, will go to the Sib Hashian Scholarship Fund, which she started in memory of her late husband. The fund gives out $10,000 annually to students in Lynn pursuing arts and music.
Sib Hashian was born and raised in Lynn
