An accurate depiction of the mid 2000s punk scene following US band Dirty Money and UK band OK pilot to Fest 2008. Fest is a punk gathering that takes place in the college town of Jacksonville, organised by the folks at Gainesville punk label No Idea, that attracts punks from around the world. These were the good old days before the Subprime recession kicked in and the flow of DIY punk bands coming from the US to the UK (and vice versa) dried up. This film is a super low-budget production that picks up the essence of fun and community surrounding the DIY punk scene with all the requisite drinking games, horsing around and dangerously packed shows taking place in tiny venues. It isn't anywhere as good as The Decline Of Western Civilisation (1981) but if you know any of these bands its a good laugh.
