YEAR END UPDATE Happy Holidays! Hello! Shaun here, the Director of A Fat Wreck, As the year comes to a close I wanted to give you an update on the progress of the film and the status of the perks. This project has been one of the most challenging things I have ever done. It has impacted every aspect of my life. It has put strains on our family financially and has impacted my marriage, my career and affected me both physically and mentally. (During the making of this film we

*Rory Koff- NUFAN & Friends It’s been a few months since our last blog post and we are eager to update everyone with what’s happening with the documentary. The past few months have been exhausting to say the least and we still have more work ahead of us, but we are close to the finish line. We had an amazing time in San Francisco at the Fat Wreck Chords 25th Anniversary. The “A Fat Wreck” film crew were given photo/ video passes for the weekend and we spent every minute of th

My initial post was going to be about Lagwagon’s newest studio album “Hang”, but it got me thinking. I was sitting there listening to the new tracks from the album, getting just as stoked as the first time I heard them (early this year, we conducted our Lagwagon interviews during their recording session for the new album and we were fortunate enough to hear a few tracks off the new record.) The newest offering reinvigorated me and reminded me of skipping class in high school

We are extremely excited for our very own Justin Wilson, Co-Producer, Director of Photography, and FIlm Consultant for A Fat Wreck. His latest film was released on itunes this past week and was met with great success. For those of you unaware of the punk rock doc world, a movie called Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All was released last week. It managed to break the top 3 music documentaries on itunes making it one of punk rocks biggest movies. When I first met Justin, I'l

Happy Anniversary!! Hello Fatty Fat Fat Fats, Can you believe we are here!? It’s been one year since we officially announced A Fat Wreck. To be honest, it took us by surprise that we were approaching the year mark. Being so close to the project we forget that there is an audience just as eager to watch what me make, as we are. We are honest Fat Wreck Chords fans that had an idea to make a doc about one of our favorite labels and here we are a year later; this film has exceede

“When’s the movie coming out?” We get asked this question constantly. From close friends and family to emails from the Fat Wreck community, this is the burning question that is on everyone's mind when they first speak with us. We appreciate the amazingly supportive community that is growing more and more anxious to see the documentary, and we want nothing more than for all of you to see this film. We can only say this; it will come out when it’s finished. This may seem like a

A Fat Wreck Production Blog #9- San Francisco: Round 2 A couple weeks back we had mentioned that we had some exciting news to share with the A Fat Wreck community. Well I've been givin' the go ahead to make the announcement. So without further ado, let's get to the news already. A Fat Wreck is headed back to California!! That's right, we're headed back to San Francisco. Although the original goal was to head out there back in June to finish the bulk of interviews and product

When we decided that we would try to post a new blog daily, we had made the assumption that we would have actually had the downtime to work on them. I think we may have been a tad bit overzealous. We wanted a way for our Fatty Fat Fat Fans to vicariously live through our experiences. So with these upcoming blog posts we want to take parts of our trip out to Southern California and do select features. If there is one thing I can say about Jordan Burns, drummer for Strung Out,

"A Day Late And Always A Couple Bucks Short" The one point I’d like to get across to you first is this: camaraderie in punk rock is alive and well. There’s a common thread that runs through the punk community in San Francisco; it weaves in and out the fabric of the city’s ethos. Mission Dolores Park defines this mentality. The park has one of the most amazing views I’ve witnessed with my own eyes. I encourage you to go there if you are ever in the Bay Area; the park, the peop

I'm sitting in traffic again on the forever horrible 635 (that's a highway in Dallas, TX; anyone familiar with this road knows what I'm talking about), late to another meeting once again. You'd think by now I would have learned to take a different route or possibly even leave earlier than scheduled, but nope. Nothing has set in yet. Surprisingly, for all this stop and go traffic which usually leads to sitting in the car frustrated, I'm very upbeat and chipper. Why you may ask
