danielson: a family movie (2006)

just in case you're wondering, i'm trying to watch a film a day while i'm unemployed. so today's movie was danielson: a family movie, featuring the christian indie family band the danielson famile led by daniel smith (aka brother danielson). he's known for his totally rad 9-fruit tree costume and nurse/doctor outfits. oh, and he puts out sufjan stevens' records on his record label, 'sounds familyre.'

it's a colorful documentary. it was really interesting to see peoples' reactions to their music and whether or not they minded that their music was about God. daniel smith is really neat character -- someone you wouldn't expect to be christian, but you know is totally christian. there was an emphasis on family and of course spiritual freedom. it explored the boundaries of the christian music scene -- how it's presented and perceived.

oh oh, it was very weird that there is footage of him and daniel johnston together, especially since yesterday was daniel johnston movie day. (side note: i am listening to him nonstop.)

if you don't know danielson, they're quite good, fun, and morally sound, haha. watch this. it's cute.
