Boing Boing Staging

Beastie Boys give cams to fans, who film concert: "Awesome!"

The complete title of the Beastie Boys‘ forthcoming concert flick is in fact, Awesome! I Fuckin’ Shot That!,” but the New York Times is too polite for such language. Snip from story:

[A]s the Beastie Boys set out to commemorate a concert at Madison Square Garden, the hip-hop group had a different idea. Why not smash the model? They decided to lend hand-held video cameras to 50 fans, told them to shoot at will, and then presented the end result in movie theaters in all its primitive, kaleidoscopic glory.

The result of this brainstorm is “Awesome … ,” which will be shown Saturday night at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, before being released by ThinkFilm in late March.
