The process of rebelling is often against your own past and, in that spirit during the magic of SXSW, The Other F Word is a compelling documentary I happened to stumble into after being talked out of seeing a different film on the bus ride over to the theater. The documentary chronicles punk rockers turning 40, having families and having to tour to pay the mortgage (to the man!).
Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins‘ The Other F Word opens around the country this month and next via Oscilloscope Laboratories. The Film Stage sat down with Nevin, her producer Cristan Reilly and director of photography Geoffrey Franklin and talked about the process of capturing the intimate lives of men who have spent a good part of their lives creating a mythology about themselves.
