I have been asked asked to say a few words about the film and those times. If you love that era of music and what was going on in New York City at that time, I believe you will love this film. - Tom

About the Film:
Danny Says is a documentary on the life and times of Danny Fields. Since 1966, Danny Fields has played a pivotal role in music and "culture" of the late 20th century: working for the Doors, Cream, Lou Reed, Nico, Judy Collins and managing groundbreaking artists like the Stooges, the MC5 and the Ramones. Danny Says follows Fields from Phi Beta Kappa whiz-kid, to Harvard Law dropout, to the Warhol Silver Factory, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to "punk pioneer" and beyond. Danny's taste and opinion, once deemed defiant and radical, has turned out to have been prescient. Danny Says is a story of marginal turning mainstream, avant garde turning prophetic, as Fields looks to the next generation.

Bop Shop Records will join the fun during this screening. They'll provide an introduction, along with records for sale (there will also be limited edition t-shirts for sale). The Little will also live-stream a Q&A after the movie.
