Never Mind the Fences
premiered in Wichita, Kansas on August 2nd & 3rd, 2007. Since
then, it has been submitted to roughly 10 festivals, though has sadly
not been accepted to a single one.
Never
Mind the Fences explores a unique community in the
blue-collar city of Wichita, Kansas. Here, in the nation’s
airplane production capital, musicians such as Dan Davis have
circumvented the corporate music industry and created a DIY music scene
on their own terms. Since the recent explosion of the
“all-ages” music scene five years ago, Wichita has
become a Mecca of underground music, but still remains almost entirely
unnoticed by the industry. Rather than succumb the corporatist
churn-it-out mentality, Dan and a handful of local artists have created
a buzz by producing a three-day music festival, attracting music-lovers
and creators from across the country. In a place where making it means
being happy with what you have and what you are doing, MTV and
corporate record labels are the antithesis of what these musicians
strive for.

Mind the Fences in your town, or simply purchase a DVD
