What happens

Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All is a 2013 independent documentary film chronicling the history of the American punk rock bands the Descendents and All. It was written by Matt Riggle, who produced and directed it with Deedle LaCour. The film uses an oral history format, telling the bands' stories through the use of interviews with over 40 subjects, as well as new and archival footage. It stars drummer Bill Stevenson, singer Milo Aukerman, bassist Karl Alvarez, and guitarist Stephen Egerton, and features nearly all past and present members of both bands. Filmage also features numerous musicians who were contemporaries of, worked with, or were influenced by the Descendents and All. The documentary premiered June 15, 2013 and was shown in select screenings and at film festivals in North America, South America, Europe, and Australia throughout 2013 and 2014. It had a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles in September and October 2014 before being widely released on home video. Filmage has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The film's title derives from the band's tradition of titling some songs and albums by adding the suffix "-age" to words that would not normally use it (cf. "Myage", "Tonyage", "Bikeage", "Cameage", Liveage!, and "Daveage"). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
