Director of “The Other F Word” Discusses Punk Rock Fathers

Nov. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- This month, entertainment website Back Page Magazine interviewed Andrea Blaugrund Nevins, the director of “The Other F Word.”

“The Other F Word” is a just-released documentary which goes behind the stage to hang out with notable punk-rock  and skate-rock musicians, showing another human side of working musician parents.  

Musicians featured include  Jim Lindberg of Pennywise, Ron Reyes from Black Flag, Mark Hoppus of Blink 182, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fear, Brett Gurewitz, who played in Bad Religion, Fat Mike from NOFX and Lars Frederiksen of Rancid.

In the interview conducted by Back Page Magazine writer Ed Rampell, Blaugrund Nevins speaks candidly about the inspiration for the movie, her producer Morgan Spurlock, and about the various fathers who star in her film.

The fundamental contradiction and dilemma facing punk fathers like Pennywise’s Jim Lindberg in Andrea Blaugrund Nevins’ The Other F Word.  In the new punk rock documentary about fatherhood, Lindberg ponders having to play the “clean versions of my albums” for his children, and using admonishments such as “I’m not sure that was cool.”
The Other F Word is Nevins’ first feature length documentary, and is executive produced by Morgan Spurlock, director of 2004’s  Super Size Me.  Originally from Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Nevins worked for NPR and ABC News.  Her documentary short Still Kicking, about aging dancers, was Oscar-nominated.  After meeting her husband Nevins moved to L.A.; they now have three children.
Her entertaining rock-umentary is alternately funny, insightful and surprisingly poignant, as it burrows beneath punker pops’ porcupine personas. Chronicling the current state of the music industry and Southern California’s punk music movement, Nevins’ punkumentary is arguably the best nonfiction film about that scene since Penelope Spheeris’ 1981 The Decline of Western Civilization.
