Rez Metal

1 hr 15 mins

When Kyle Felter, the lead singer of I Don't Konform sent out a demo album to Flemming Rasmussen, the Grammy Award-winner producer of Metallica, they never imagined themselves a few months later rehearsing with Rasmussen inside a hot hogan on a Navajo reservation before recording their debut album at the iconic Sweet Silence Studio in Denmark. While following I Don't Konform's fairy tale journey, our documentary REZ METAL, tells the larger compelling story of the heavy metal scene on Navajo reservations where many youths have grown disaffected as a result of endemic poverty, high rate of suicides, and domestic violence. By exploring different metal bands and their perspectives on music and contemporary life, this documentary will capture the universality of their experience and illustrate the many ways in which heavy metal music engages disenfranchised Navajo youth in constructive anger to effect positive change as well as to cope with personal tragedy.

Party Dream

1 hr 15 mins

PARTY DREAM is the story of Gil Mantera's Party Dream - the craziest live band you've never seen. We follow Ultimate Donny and Gil Mantera's life as unlikely step-brothers, growing up in hard-scrabble Youngstown, Ohio. The early years of the band are filled with music, touring, ridiculous fashion and no small amount of booze. In short, it's all about an up-and-coming band willing to do anything (and we mean anything) to entertain. Footage from their insane live shows provides a vicarious thrill, helping to illuminate the phrase, "You had to be there." The band hits its peak during the Bloodsongs era (their most popular album), which would be financed by Patrick Carney, drummer for world-famous rock band The Black Keys. As Carney says in the film, "A few of their shows were some of the funniest things I've ever seen happen in person. It was all pretty genius." At the height of their success, we begin to see cracks in the band's foundation, a result of relentless touring done for little money and sparse acclaim. Finally, we witness the "crash and burn" phase, in which they release their final album and quickly run out of gas, both in financial and familial terms. We learn of two brothers driven in opposite directions by the hard reality of the music business. One, a mysterious figure. The other, a gregarious frontman, searching for a new life in Youngstown. Could there ever be a chance at a reunion? Or is it too late to grasp the Party Dream?

Nobody Famous

1 hr 8 mins

Set against the backdrop of a socially and politically volatile sixties, Nobody Famous traces the quick rise and steady fall of sixties folk/pop trio, The Pozo Seco Singers. Recounted through the current day lens of former member, Taylor Pie, (at the time fresh from her first year in College) we watch as a young woman navigates the choices and responsibility that come with sudden success. A chance meeting backstage at a local Texas hootenanny between Susan Taylor (aka Taylor Pie), Donnie Williams and Lofton Kline sparked what would become The Pozo Seco Singers. A South Texas radio hit "Time" and one fortuitous meeting with a record label executive quickly has the group courted by and subsequently signed with Columbia Records. Following soon after, the group is taken under the wings of infamous artist manager Albert Grossman (of Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin fame). By the late sixties, folk music's zeitgeist gives way to the heady rhythm of rock and roll. Ironically, it is the signing of Janis Joplin by Columbia and Albert Grossman (the group's own label and manager) that leads to the demise of not only folk as popular music, but with it any chance of further success for the folk/pop trio. While fellow member Don Williams goes on to become one of the most successful country music artists of the 20th century, Susan shies away from fame and fortune, instead choosing to "go where the folk wind blows", embracing her own path, her own unique artistry and her own individual identity in the process.
