Update #3: So close...

Posted on February 25

The editing is just about done.  The film is running 88 minutes in length.  We still need to do color correction and a sound mix on the interview sections, but we're so close...

Watch these pages for an announcement on screenings this summer!

Update #2: Editing away...

Posted on February 7

Just wanted everyone to know that the film is being edited right now.  The footage looks amazing!  The band literally jumps off the screen.  (Matt Gentling should have been filmed in 3-D!)  And the sound is mind-blowing. 

Make sure you catch the Archers on their upcoming tour.  Some dates have already been announced.

And don't forget the Vee Vee reissue coming from Merge on Feb. 21st!

More info soon...
