With outstanding performances and revealing interviews, Andrew Shapter and Joel Rassmussen's Before the Music Dies takes a critical and comedic look at the homogenization of popular music with commentary by some of the industry's biggest talent. Using historic footage, the film looks at the evolution of American music and the artists who created it and pulls back the curtain (in a very creative way) to expose the sad truth behind today's "artificial" music stars. Roll over, Beethoven indeed. Filmmaker In Attendance
