What We Do is Secret

Whoa! What a cool film. It's one of those films I watch and I thought "Wow. We're going to show this at our Festival. I think that makes us cool."

Shane West tears it up in this film as Darby Crash lead singer of The Germs. Shane has a nice resume. Take a look at him on the IMDB.com and you'll be impressed. The film also features Rick Gonzalez, very good as Pat Smear. You might remember him as Spanish from "Old School".

I've gotten sidetracked again. The film is a bio-pic about the band The Germs who hit the LA Punk Scene hard in the late 70s and got kicked out of every club thanks to their out of control fans and maybe a little bit by Darby Crash. Okay maybe a lot because of Darby Crash.

I was really impressed by how the film was shot, documentary/narrative style. Also impressive is Shane West. If you have any interest in punk music definitely check this out, if you don't have interest in punk music, check it out anyway just to make sure you don't miss a really cool film. Then you'll be cool by association. Just like the Phoenix Film Festival.
