aflycon Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You can contribute to the Indiegogo campaign for A Fat Wreck here. From their Indiegogo page: Short Summary We are not affiliated with Fat Wreck Chords. We are fans of the bands, the label, and the genre, and we want to tell a story of a time in music that inspired us like no other, from that point of view. The fan's perspective... The people Fat Wreck Chords influenced along the way. It's important to us and everyone who would like to see this film that we tell the story the right way; that we don't cut any corners or neglect any key interviews or footage for the sake of completion. We want to put as much Fat Wreck Chords content into this film as possible, and our contributors are key in making this happen for everyone. What We Need & What You Get As it stands, our goal is to raise $7,500 USD. This isn't much money to produce a feature length documentary, and that's because so much of the film has already been shot, and some of the editing and production is currently under way. We have a small amount of traveling to do: Texas to California and back. A few fees, some cash into the perks, and the rest into production. We broke everything down here so you can see exactly where the contributions are going. If, by chance, we fail to meet our goal, we are still going to bring you the very best Fat Wreck Chords documentary possible with the resources we have available. We would be forced to sacrifice the Fat Wreck Chords Cover Song physicalcompilation, and some extra footage that we are really looking forward to, but the film will go on, come Hell or high water! Damnit! (If we go over, shit just gets better!) The Impact For better or worse, depending on who you ask, FAT Wreck Chords was a major player in the resurgence of punk rock in the early 90's with significant influence on the genre and and a very likely long lasting impact on the history of punk rock. This documentary aims to be the deepest look the outside world has been able to take on the unfolding of that history. The way it all came together told by the artists, recording engineers, and record label itself, as well as the impact they all had, as seen through the eyes of the fans, bands, writers, club owners, promoters, and everyone else influenced one way or another by this music. A FAT Wreck is the collaborative examination of the rise of a DIY scene, produced in the truest fashion of DIY, for a DIY audience. Other Ways You Can Help This project is as much yours as it is ours, just like the history it represents. So even if a financial contribution isn't in the cards for you, please don't feel like you can't be a part of the story. We are always happy to graciously accept the effort of those who are determined, and willing to lend a hand. So send us any rare footage you might be sitting on, upload your FAT Wreck Chords cover songs, put us in touch with some sweet interviewees, or just surprise us! But most importantly, Spread The Word! We can't emphasize this enough. This is a DIY project and DIY relies on grass roots efforts. So thank you for the consideration, contributions, and your Trust!

Guest Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If they wanted my money, they should have put anybody but Fat Mike in the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converge88 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Sounds cool. I will do the $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Just a quick bump to inform people that they are going to be starting a shorter, final campaign to add more stuff to film because it has evolved from their original idea. I've seen some really cool interviews as a volunteer transcriber. Anyway the new fundraiser launches sometime today and they intend to raise $15,000 for the film. To do things like: There are some pretty cool perks. Naturally I opted for the covers compilation way back in April 2014. There are some pretty great yet lesser-known bands on it too. Some of the other perks are pretty sweet. I'll update the thread when the link goes live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 $300 for a Joey Cape voice mail message? Who still uses voice mail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 They should probably put "travel/hotel not included" on those screening perks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The word "punk-u-mentary" is dumb. Just call it a documentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 the flick looks pretty sweet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 $300 for a Joey Cape voice mail message? Who still uses voice mail? Well if your grandma is into punkrawk, she'll dig it. They should probably put "travel/hotel not included" on those screening perks. You are right. the flick looks pretty sweet though From the interview clips I've seen, I think it will be very interesting. I'm really pumped on the comp because a friend of mine's band is on it covering a Strung Out song. I can't recall which one offhand. If their song is any evidence of the quality of the comp, it will be badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The dude with the glasses doing the talking is really annoying. Leave him out of the movie. icecream 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-fat-wreck-the-punk-u-mentary Another bump for the sake of the final push. From what I've seen (more than you, probably ) this film will be pretty sweet for punk fans. Also check that sweet vinyl perk!!! The comp is really cool.

throughbeingcruel Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Was about to donate then realized it was $100 for the blu-ray/vinyl package. Sorry, but no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Bump for 2 days left! They are at 40%, a little push can help ensure that they are able to fund everything accordingly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Was about to donate then realized it was $100 for the blu-ray/vinyl package. Sorry, but no. Understandable! I went with just the vinyl way back when at $65, then it lowered to $40-45 so he said they'd throw in extras. Plus, I've helped work on the film a little and am hoping that all adds up to a blu-ray, but if not whatever. I just want to watch it.

kylet Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I saw this at Fest last year and loved it! It's been at $19.99 on Amazon for awhile but this morning I noticed it was only $7.99 on Bluray.

nancy_raygun Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I wasn't impressed, personally. After it was finished I just felt like I would have preferred a full length documentary on Lagwagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 28 years old and as the documentary says I'm definitely a second generation Fat Wreck kid, growing up with bands like Lawrence Arms, Smoke or Fire, Strike Anywhere, Anti-Flag, None More Black, Against Me, Leftover Crack, Rise Against, etc. Of the first generation stuff, I was real into NOFX, but No Use/Lagwagon/Strung Out were never really my thing. I like them enough, but I was totally content with the amount of Lagwagon that was in it. Edited January 22, 2017 by kylet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm also reeeeeeally into Lagwagon. The blu ray is OOS right now but I ordered to secure that sweet ass price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy shipped. Can't wait to watch this again and show it to my wife. I feel like this documentary does a great job of making Fat Wreck seem as important to the rest of the world as it did in my eyes as a 12 year old haha.

nickj Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Glad they were able to talk about Fat's history and impact without having to say it was the best label of all time, like most documentaries would. Documentaries always seem to oversell the importance of their topic. Edited January 25, 2017 by nickj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But im not too concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
