Half-Cocked / UK premiere on Monday

IN THE FALL OF 1993 MICHAEL GALINSKY AND SUKI HAWLEY HATCHED THE IDEA
FOR “HALF-COCKED” WHILE ON A CHILLY WALK ALONG THE EAST RIVER.  FOUR
MONTHS LATER THEY WERE SHOOTING THEIR HALF-DOCUMENTARY HALF-FICTION FILM ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE.  FINANCED BY MATADOR RECORDS, THE FILM WAS SHOT FOR JUST OVER $10,000 DOLLARS.  WHEN IT WAS COMPLETE
MATADOR RELEASED THE SOUNDTRACK AND HAWLEY AND GALINSKY TOOK THE FILM ON TOUR, PROJECTING IT IN ROCK CLUBS ACROSS THE US AND EUROPE. 

STARRING MEMBERS OF RODAN, FREAKWATER, CRAIN, NATION OF ULYSSES, SLINT,
CUPID CAR CLUB, THE MAKE-UP, THE GRIFTERS, AND MANY OTHERS, THE FILM
DOCUMENTS A SPECIFIC TIME AND PLACE IN AMERICAN UNDERGROUND CULTURE.  IT WAS SHOT WHILE KURT COBAIN WAS ALIVE, AND WAS BEING EDITED WHEN HE DIED. AT THE TIME THE FILM “KIDS” WAS BEING SHOT IN HAWLEY’S BEDROOM AS
SHE EDITED IN THE CLOSET.
