The unlikely story behind the documentary 'Washington Capitals Time Capsule'

Jeff Krulik is an accomplished local filmmaker, best known for his 1986 cult classic “Heavy Metal Parking Lot,” a short documentary co-produced by John Heyn about fans tailgating in the Capital Centre parking lot before a Judas Priest concert.

Jeff Krulik is also a hoarder, whose collection includes seven hours of taped interviews with fans and raw footage from Capitals games dating from Alex Ovechkin’s rookie season, which had gathered dust on a shelf since his spec project for the team’s marketing department was abandoned in 2007.

Greg DeLiso is a 29-year-old filmmaker from Michigan, who, in 2010, edited Krulik’s “Heavy Metal Picnic,” a feature-length documentary about a two-day, outdoor concert in Potomac in 1985.
