Danny Says

A documentary on the life and times of Danny Fields.

Danny Says documents the amazing life and times of Danny Fields, whose journey in the chaotic world of rock and roll saw him perform the duties of music manager, publicist, journalist and author, eventually becoming one of the the most influential music industry executives of the era. A behind-the-scenes icon who left an indelible mark in the world pf punk rock as manager of groundbreaking artists like The Stooges, MC5 and the Ramones, Fields also played a pivotal role working for such outfits as The Doors, Cream, Lou Reed, Nico, and Judy Collins when he wasn’t hanging out in Andy Warhol‘s fabled Factory. Wrier-director Brendon Toller‘s Danny Says follows Fields from his college days as a Phi Beta Kappa whiz, to Harvard Law dropout, to Warhol confidant, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to punk pioneer and beyond. This is a remarkable story of the marginal turning mainstream and the avant garde turning prophetic, as Fields looks to the next generation of up-and-coming music movers and shakers.
