DCIFF Alumni Spotlight - Chris Metzler and Lev Anderson

Filmmaker and DCIFF alum Chris Metzler is currently on a multi-city tour with the rockumentary lauded by critics and loved by audiences, Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone. This festival darling won the 2011 DCIFF Grand Jury award for Best Documentary. Everyday Sunshine chronicles the journey of the LA funk-punk rock band Fishbone in and out of the music world and the roots they return to in the city they live in over a quarter century. Thanks to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, the filmmakers returned to DC November 11 for a free screening of Everyday Sunshine at U Street's historic Lincoln Theater, followed by a Q&A session with the directors and a concert by Fishbone. Between back to back screenings on the festival circuit, Everyday Sunshine has had a limited release in theaters in New York and Los Angeles and been broadcast on PBS, and recently became available on DVD as well.
