| User ReviewPrivate UI just saw this movie at SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival). It's a thoughtful, honest, and beautiful look into the life of Marco Collins, a DJ who was instrumental in bringing unknown bands into the limelight starting in the 90's and continuing today. Some great footage and memories of the beginning of alternative rock. Collins is a fascinating and complex personality, with a gifted ear and a passion for music. |
