Before The Music Dies
Join director Andrew Shapter and producer Joel Rasmussen, in person, as they present their award-winning documentary, Before The Music Dies.
Is original music drowning in the wake of big label marketing? Will radio ever again be the influential force it once was? Does the “next big thing� in music even have a chance to be heard? Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country to uncover how American music arrived at this moment of truth. The answers they found – and the promise the future holds – make Before The Music Dies both riveting and exhilarating.
An insightful panel discussion will follow the screening, exploring both the unique distribution model for the film, as well as the legal and clearance issues surrounding the release.
The panel will include:
Andrew Shapter – Director
