Danielson: a Family movie {or, Make a Joyful Noise HERE}XviD DvD

Danielson: a Family Movie is a documentary about unbridled creativity vs. accessibility, Christian faith vs. popular culture, underground music vs. survival, and family vs. individuality. The film follows Daniel Smith, an eccentric musician and visual artist, as he leads his four siblings and best friend Chris to indie-rock stardom. Beginning in 1995 when the youngest band member was 11 years old, the Danielson Family performs in white, vintage nurse costumes to symbolize the healing power of the Good News, a recurring subject matter. Though tepidly received by the Christian music world, the South Jersey farmland-bred clan is widely embraced by the mainstream independent music community, written about in Rolling Stone, Spin, the New York Times and elsewhere as an outsider curiosity backed up by innovative, experimental music. But as with other family acts, members of the band begin to seek out their own paths as they go through college and Daniel eventually faces the struggle to become viable as a solo act. Along the way he mentors an unknown singer-songwriter named Sufjan Stevens whose own subsequent success stands in stark contrast to the music world\'s uneasy reception of Danielson just a few years prior. With production starting in 2002, at a high water mark for the band, all the drama is played out before the camera making Danielson: a Family Movie both engaging and entertaining. Collage, direct cinema, animation and memorable performances all contribute to this thoughtful and thought-provoking spectacle. The film was made with no capital investment from the Danielson Famile, its record label or any other third party. Length: 105 minutes Production and post-production: March 2002 thru May 2006 Shooting format: miniDV with some 16mm, super8, animation, & DVcam Producer, Director, Camera, Editor: JL Aronson Music Supervisor: Pete Tunney Distributed by HVE: now available for sale or rent at your local and/or online retailer (Amazon, for instance) Starring: Danielson Famile, Br.
