Read Killswitch Productions Director/ Producer Ian McFarland’s interview in LA Weekly about his concert film Meshuggah: Alive and how films like this can “break down stereotypes of the metalhead . . .”
The first ever Heavy Metal Film Festival, which runs from March 31st – April 3rd at the Downtown Independent Cinema, will feature Meshuggah: Alive Concert Film.
From heavymetalff.com:
Shot by director/producer Ian McFarland of Killswitch Productions during MESHUGGAH’s 2009 North American tour and at their 2008 performance at the Loudpark Festival in Tokyo, Japan, ALIVE contains concert footage of selections from the band’s Billboard Top 200-charting 2008 release, obZen, in addition to their time-tested career staples. Gracefully interlacing the live tracks are behind-the-scenes vignettes shot in black & white that give ALIVE a concert film feel so unlike many of the live DVDs currently on the market. The result is a visceral, visual abduction into the band’s metric insanity-in-action.
The documentary “PUSH Madison vs Madison” has been accepted officially by the Independent Film Festival of Boston (IFFBoston) which will be running April 27 – May 4, 2011.
Killswitch Productions’ Ian McFarland worked as a Writer and Consulting Producer alongside longtime collaborator and Cinematographer Mike Pecci on the film which is centered around an inner city basketball team.
