“The U.S. indie film sector is struggling, with only a handful acquiring indie films — it’s not enough. American independent cinema and its filmmakers won’t survive unless support at home and in Hollywood returns to the levels seen in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, when bold American indie voices influenced global cinema with the right industry support,” said Slamdance co-founder Paul Rachman. “That’s the spark The Indies and Slamdance aim to reignite by coming to Los Angeles. We understand this landscape — and we’re here to push for change.” @slamdancegroup #indiedilm #cinema

A feature documentary I’ve been producing for 4+ years with director Scott Crawford @saladdazed and fantastic feature doc editor @mayamualem_photography. This film is about my longtime hardcore punk friend @joe.keithley of @doapunk band will premiere @woodstockfilmfestival on October 19th at 3:45pm@at the Tinker theater in Woodstock. This was and is a passionate project with a keen message. A punk political documentary that chronicles the history of the band DOA as it informs Joey Shithead today as a Green Party politician in Canada. 💥🎥🎬🎸 proud of this one.
