Reports on various web sites, including the California Film Industry site, indicate that David Selby spent late 2005 filming Spin, an independent feature film about the Latin music industry in America. Here's how the film is described by the production company, Cineira Entertainment:
The Cineira Entertainment web site has a brief clip in Quicktime format, but David Selby does not appear anywhere in it. Be aware that it does contain strong language. The site is a little tricky to navigate. At the bottom of the screen, a tan navigation bar will pop up when you hover your mouse over it. Choose "Films and TV" and then click on the word Spin, either the text or the graphic, to view the clip. The film now has its own official website featuring screen captures, production stills, cast biographies, and a trailer format. David Selby can be seen in a few of the images and in the trailer. According to press materials for the film, "David Selby plays Rob Polan, owner of EME records and a wise, caring executive within an industry where dog eat dog is practiced regularly but even expected." There is also a MySpace site for the film, and a teaser trailer is posted on VOY TV. On Monday, January 23, 2006, a Spin party was held at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. A number of people associated with the film were in attendance. Photos are available from WireImage, but David Selby does not appear in any of the photos. The film is slated to be released on DVD on January 23, 2007.
