Co-directors Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler screened a world premiere of their film Everyday Sunshine – The Story of Fishbone at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival. Now in October 2011, the film is enjoying theatrical release in New York, Los Angeles, and other select cities. While we weren’t able to sit down with Lev and Chris, we sent them some questions about their film and how it all came together. Here’s what the directors had to say.
Have you always been a fan of Fishbone? What made you want to make a documentary about the band?
Yep, we were fans of the band and we thought Fishbone would be a fun story to tell. Looking at how the group met while being bussed from South Central to Woodland Hills in the late 1970s as part of desegregation efforts and through their career, we knew we could tell a parallel story...

Mike Everleth, editor of Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film, has recently returned to the American Film Institute to do more research work for AFI’s Catalog of Feature Films, an extensive database of every American film that has been released theatrically in the U.S.
Mike was originally hired by AFI back in 2010 to work on a 10-month long project to add basic records for films released in the U.S. between 1975 and the present. After the successful completion of that project, now Mike has been asked back to the AFI Catalog to assist in expanding those records to contain more detailed historical data. More information on how the Catalog is being currently developed can be found on the AFI website.
Regular readers of Bad Lit will be pleased to know that many underground films are contained in the catalog, from George Kuchar’s The Devil’s Cleavage...
