Introduction by filmmakers Roger Gastman and Joseph Pattisall
The new documentary from Roger Gastman’s Beyond the Streets (THE LEGEND OF COOL DISCO DAN) follows the LA-based band Dead City Punx, whose massive illegal outdoor shows full of fireworks, fistfights, bonfires and graffiti pit them against the LAPD, LAFD and the mayor, while ultimately resuscitating the Los Angeles music scene. This film forces the viewer to question what DIY and punk really mean when sh*t gets real.
