A documentary on the life and times of Danny Fields, who played a pivotal role in music and “culture” of the late 20th century: working for The Doors, Lou Reed, Nico, Judy Collins and managing groundbreaking artists like the Stooges, the MC5 and the Ramones. Danny Says follows Fields as a punk pioneer and beyond from Harvard Law dropout to Warhol’s Silver Factory to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records. Handcrafted from over 250 hours of interviews and items from Field’s immense archives (thousands of photographs, audio cassettes, ephemera). Danny Says weaves candid interviews, animation, archival video, photographs, performance footage, radio shows, demos and taped phone conversations spanning decades.
