DANNY SAYS

"You could make a convincing case that without Danny Fields, punk rock would not have happened." -Charlie Curkin, The New York Times feature on Fields, December 26, 2014

"Rock gadfly Danny Fields reminiscences of the 1960's and 1970's are pure gold in Brendan Toller's documentary… Assembly is first-rate, with mix of sterling archival materials and starry talking heads echoing the subject's gossipy, profane, impudent manner. Several lively animated sequences  further diversify the package. The soundtrack, needless to say, is a mix tape dream." -Variety

Danny Says is a documentary on the life and times of Danny Fields. Since 1966, Danny Fields has played a pivotal role in music and “culture” of the late 20th century: working for the Doors, Cream, Lou Reed, Nico, Judy Collins and managing groundbreaking artists like the Stooges, the MC5 and the Ramones. Danny Says follows Fields from Phi Beta Kappa whiz-kid, to Harvard Law dropout, to the Warhol Silver Factory, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to “punk pioneer” and beyond. Danny’s taste and opinion, once deemed defiant and radical, has turned out to have been prescient. Danny Says is a story of marginal turning mainstream, avant garde turning prophetic, as Fields looks to the next generation.
