Never Mind the Fences (2007)

NEVER MIND THE FENCES explores a unique community in the blue-collar city of Wichita, Kansas. Here, in the nation’s airplane production capital, musicians have circumvented the corporate music industry and created a DIY(do it yourself) music scene on their own terms. Since the recent explosion of the “all-ages” music scene five years ago, Wichita has become a Mecca of underground music, but still remains almost entirely unnoticed by the industry. Rather than succumb to the churn-it-out mentality, these local artists have created an underground buzz by producing a three-day music festival, attracting music-lovers and creators from across the country. The film is currently being submitted to several film festivals around the world, though if you would like to help fund a screening for it in your town, or if you simply want a copy of it on DVD for $10 +shipping, please contact us through myspace.com/cakefilms or send an e-mail to wichitafilm@yahoo.com Directed by Ben Huff Produced by Adriana Hemans
