Free D.I.Y. on Zune Marketplace
November 14, 2007
MVD is giving away free downloads of documentary D.I.Y. OR DIE: How to Survive as an Independent Artist at Microsoft's Zune Marketplace. The doc will be available in eight episodes over eight weeks in the podcast section.
Seven DVD extras will be available, one per week after the final chapter of the film is posted.
Directed by Michael Dean, the film features interviews and performances by Lydia Lunch, Ian MacKaye (Fugazi), J Mascis (Dinosaur jr.), Jim Rose (Jim Rose Sideshow), J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus), Mike Watt (Minutemen), Richard Kern (Filmmaker), Ron Asheton (Stooges), Madigan Shive (Bonfire Madigan), Dave Brockie (Gwar), Craig Newmark (founder Craig's List) and more.
According to MVD, Dean was asked why he wanted to put his film online for free and here's his reply: "It's my gift to the world. People write me every day and tell me the film got them off their ass. I made the film to spread a message, not make money. And somehow, it still made money. That's how I do things - it's how I pay my rent to the Universe."
