A Fat Wreck : The Punk-u-mentary, the music documentary film about the influential California punk label Fat Wreck Chords comes to VOD and Blu-ray/DVD November 22nd via The Orchard and Something Kreative. A Fat Wreck is a successfully crowdfunded music doc that premiered at Dallas International Film Festival. It is the first to feature puppet reenactments and was produced by open-ended films and directed by first-time director Shaun M. Colón.
Film Synopsis: Fat Wreck Chords, the influential music label, are proud to say they’ve spent the past 25 years “ruining punk rock.” A Fat Wreck tells the story of founders Fat Mike (of the legendary punk band NOFX) and his ex-wife Erin Kelly-Burkett, spanning the birth, growth, struggles, and survival of the label. Half inspirational story of chosen family and community, half debauchery and occasionally involuntary drug use. A Fat Wreck blazes exciting new ground in the cinematic genre of puppet-driven punk rock music documentary filmmaking. If you only see one film featuring a dominatrix spanking a puppet in your lifetime. Make it A Fat Wreck!
