"Salad Days" director/writer Scott Crawford has spent much of his devoted to documenting independent culture. In 2001, he launched Harp Magazine and served as its Editor-in-Chief for over 7 years. After leaving publishing behind, he began to study film production and specifically documentary filmmaking.
His documentary feature film debut in 2015 was "Salad Days" about the influential DC punk underground in the 1980s. It received critical praise from the NY Times, Washington Post, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone, MTV, and sold out theater screenings all over the world. The film also won two film festival awards, including "Best Overall Documentary." The cast includes Thurston Moore, Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, Fred Armisen and many more.
Crawford's next documentary was entitled "CREEM: America's Only Rock'n'Roll Magazine"-which tells the story of the most popular music magazine of the 1970s (second only to Rolling Stone) and its freewheeling, dysfunctional yet brilliant staff and its ultimate demise. The film was released in 2019 by Greenwich films and garnered critical praise from The NY Times to Rolling Stone to Variety. The film is currently rated 96% for critics and 97% for its audience score. The film won "Best Documentary" at the Freep Film Festival. The cast includes Cameron Crowe, Gene Simmons, Kirk Hammett, Michael Stipe, and many more.
Scott Crawford's latest documentary will debut in 2024. Entitled "Something Better Change", it follows punk rock icon Joe Keithley (DOA) and his foray into local politics. After 40 years of playing loud, politically charged punk rock, Keithley decided to put his lyrics where his mouth is and scored an unbelievable win in 2018 in his bustling hometown of Burnaby, BC. Win or lose, the film follows him as runs for a second term. The cast includes Beto O'Rourke, Duff McKagan, Ian MacKaye, Jello Biafra, and many more.
