Yesterday I went over to West Oakland to watch a short documentary my friend Elida made. She had taken a class on film making and was showing off the final product. Pretty cool and inspiring! Justin Chin who hosted the showing also showed one of his recent works (he's a cinematographer). He helped create an unofficial music video for a Green Day song. I'm not a Green Day fan, but I do have more appreciation for them after recently finishing the book Gimme
Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless
History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day and in my opinion this is another case where the fan video blows away the official video. Anyhow, compare and contrast for yourself.
