This film is a biopic about the lead singer of the original punk band "The Germs". His name is Darby Crash and he is a rebellious, hard drug using, lyric writing madman. The story goes on showing what Mr. Crash's life was like from the time he started the band until the night he committed suicide.
The story mixes a sort of documentary feel along with great concert scenes and witty dialog. This was the first movie I saw at the festival and it was quite entertaining although a little dark for my taste.
The audience got a chance to talk to the director and star of the film after the screening. The director said they had gotten this movie a distributor and it is heading for the mainstream theaters soon. Shane West talked to the audience about how he prepared for his role as Darby Crash and seemed like a pretty down to earth guy when I spoke with him.
In order to really enjoy this film, however, you should probably be interested in The Germs in the first place, otherwise you might be kinda annoyed with the music they play..but definitely well acted and well put together.
