10 Questions with Director Tim Irwin of Don’t Break Down: A Film About Jawbreaker

This spring it was announced that influential punk band Jawbreaker would play their first show in over twenty years at Riot Fest in Chicago. Soon after that came news of the release of Don’t Break Down: A Film About Jawbreaker, a documentary featuring members Blake Schwarzenbach, Chris Bauermeister, and Adam Pfahler exploring the trajectory of their career, along with interviews from Steve Albini, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Chris Shiflett, among others. The film, directed by Tim Irwin and the late Keith Schieron, will screen tonight at Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn (with an additional screening added for September 6th, due to popular demand).

We caught up with Tim Irwin for our latest 10 Questions interview and talked about his earliest directing experiences, his advice for aspiring filmmakers, and his goals for the film.

1. What was your introduction to punk rock? And to Jawbreaker specifically?

I was kinda primed for it at a pretty young age by one of my friend’s older siblings who had introduced me to The Cure and Joy Division. But I actually came to punk mostly through early skate videos. Specifically, it was the Streets on Fire video that Santa Cruz put out. I remember being kinda blown away by the first two tracks. I think it was Sonic Youth’s White Cross, and then The Minutemen’s Paranoid Chant. I was smitten with the sound. I went out and bought Post ‘Mersh Volume 3 that day. As far as Jawbreaker goes, my lifelong friend (and co-director on this film and on The Minutemen film) Keith Schieron introduced me to them.

2. Tell us about your earliest film inspirations and first experiences directing.

The absolute earliest stuff I can remember is in about third or fourth grade. My grandpa gave me a 110 instamatic camera. In school I had this artsy fartsy hippie guy for a woodshop teacher. Only he wasn’t that interested in woodshop, so he’d do these units on different areas of art. When he did a section on photography, all the kids showed up with these crazy expensive SLRs and I had this 110. I remember thinking that I wasn’t going to let this get in my way, and that my stuff had to be really unique because the actual quality of the photos wasn’t going to compare with the rest of the class. It kinda lit a fire under me to help me really try to come up with unique and creative angles or points of view. Later on in high school, I went to a communications magnate and took video classes. That’s where I met Keith and I started filming my friends skateboarding, and Keith and I would do little documentaries about our friends’ punk rock bands, and I basically just never stopped doing that.

3. Jawbreaker has a very dedicated fan base and has influenced countless bands over the years. How did the process of capturing their history come into fruition?

It was all Keith’s doing. We had just finished our documentary about The Minutemen (We Jam Econo) and we wanted to do another film.  I don’t remember if it was Keith reaching out to Adam, or Adam reaching out to Keith, but regardless of that, I do remember that we definitely wanted the next film to be about Jawbreaker.

4. Were there any similarities between working on this film and your previous music documentary? What was different?

Yeah, it was similar in that it was about a band we loved and we self-funded it and had to work our butts off in between gigs to make it happen. Also, the fact that the band was so well respected made it relatively easy to get other people to agree to be interviewed. It was different in that everyone in this band is still alive. Another huge difference is that there was just a lot of normal but difficult life situations for both me and Keith that caused long delays in finishing the film.

5. What is the best piece of advice you’ve received in terms of following your passion and moving ahead creatively? 

Take a hike. Literally. When I find any sort of block, creatively or otherwise in my life, I head to the mountains to spend time there clearing my head so I can approach things from a fresh perspective.

6. Many aspiring filmmakers don’t have the funds available for the cost of production and/or promotion. What do you think is the best way filmmakers can deal with these obstacles?

Visa / Mastercard / Amex. Just kidding, sort of. I would give the advice that you build your career around a marketable skill like editing, or shooting, or sound. Those are all things you can get paid to do while also building your skill as a director.  

7. Jawbreaker recently announced that they'll be playing their first shows in over twenty years. How difficult was it completing a documentary about a story that is still being written?

Well, there was always the (incredibly remote) possibility that they were going to get back together. When it actually did happen, the film was pretty much in a finished state and we (the filmmakers) had no idea. It caught us totally by surprise. The guys in the band didn’t want to film the reunion shows for the doc. I think they didn’t want it to look like they just got back together to make a nice ending for the film, and I totally respect that, and I’m so happy that these guys are finally playing again. It feels like they are finally getting their due. Also, can I add that as a huge fan of the band, I was beyond stoked. I got to go to the show in San Francisco and it was amazing, I just had the biggest grin on my face the entire time.

8. What advice would you give aspiring filmmakers?

Find an interesting story and tell it. If you plan to at least break even money-wise, then it helps if your story has a built-in audience already. But be prepared to not break even anyway-Ha!

9. If this film can accomplish one thing – What would you like that to be?

Creating a few more Jawbreaker fans would be great, but ultimately, we just wanted to tell a story of what it’s like to be in a band. There are some pretty universal things / arcs / feelings that happen when you are in a band and I hope we’ve allowed audiences to connect with that stuff.  

Additionally, Keith passed away while we were finishing this film and to me this film stands as a reminder of who Keith was and I hope it will help others remember that as well.

10. What are your plans for the rest of the year?

Just gonna keep pointing cameras at stuff.

Pandemics and The Price of Productivity

Hi everyone!!

Isn’t that the best way to begin a blog? Introduce yourself, so you seem as friendly in and out of the virtual realm? 

I’m kidding; I am friendly always and welcome you to my very first blog post!

 So, Hi! Hello! I’m virtually greeting you! I’m waving the way you’ve been greeting your family and friends for the past several weeks. Did you think I was going to write something during this time without mentioning the quarantine? It is everywhere you look! On Instagram, your Facebook walls, and Twitter. The quarantine is on dirty dishes and unopened Amazon Prime boxes that have been sitting in your house for over a week. The past three weeks have been hard on everyone. You are not seeing your friends, engaging in five-minute hangouts six feet apart, and, most importantly, being an essential worker during a worldwide pandemic. But, if you aren’t an “essential” worker, you’re at home make shifting a  work from home (WFH) space next to your roommate or significant other crammed next to a litter box.

The joys, right? How lucky are we to be able to WFH in our pajamas and binge watch “Tiger King” during our lunch break? How lucky are the entrepreneurs and media folk trying to crank out content now that we have all the time in the world to get our newest blog and web series started? Before we became quarantined, we had access to everything distracting. 

       We were preoccupied with happy hours with our friend groups at the local brewery, Sunday brunch on the belt-line, and my favorite, people watching at my favorite coffee shop trying to break a bout of writer’s block. Now that we are in the middle of a mandatory shelter in place, all of our usual activities stopped—no more outings, no more family visits, no more in-person happy hour.  At the drop of a hat, our lives changed, and now we have all the time in the world! Now we can start the podcast, start the blog, start something in general! Now is the time! Shelter in place is the time to be productive, right? Since the quarantine began, we immersed ourselves in the digital world of memes and Tik-Tok challenges. People aspiring for the blue checkmark can now create the content they have been putting off due to our supposed distractions and social obligations. 

While I am in full support of a creative endeavor and goal setting, I saw a post on my Instagram feed that was rather unsettling. The message read: “If you don’t come out of this quarantine with a new skill, your side hustle started, more knowledge. You never lacked time; you lacked discipline.” This post made me beg the question of why our culture so obsessed with being productive.

   If you’ve made it this far in my post, then you’re probably rolling your eyes—another millennial “triggered” over a meme they scrolled past while not understanding the bigger picture. While I am notorious for being overly sensitive in my social circle, this person is presumptuous in their attempt to encourage productivity by assuming another person’s shortcomings. Yes, I am that aspiring content creator I was speaking about above who is trying to produce content to the masses in the name of WFH distractions. I need to get my podcast recorded. I need to post more to my blog. I also need to be more productive and organized. While this person’s post is in good faith and motivation, it conveys judgment and shame.  Our society is so obsessed with “hustle culture” that even during times of crisis, we still expect ourselves to produce.      

I see it everywhere. Influencers are giving out quarantine makeup advice and graphic designers creating t-shirts making references to “social distancing” and washing our hands ( Yes, I bought one. Guilty as charged).  Podcasters are also dishing out unsolicited advice on dating while we self isolate. We capitalize on everything. Hell, at this point, I’m surprised people aren’t trying to make personalized COVID kits complete with your monogram (“BOGO on my newest Etsy account, this Friday only”). I understand, and this person is entirely valid in their opinion of using your free time to produce what you have wanted to create. Being stuck in traffic on Monday through Friday sucks up most of our time outside of work, and now that we are void of that responsibility, it is time to take action on our heart's desire. 

       In a matter of seconds, many people lost income they relied on to keep a roof over their heads and food in their fridge. Some people are now working and living full time with their significant other, which I’m sure has caused a little bit of strain on some relationships. Parents are now trying to teach their kids from home while simultaneously re-adjusting their living space to make it more work AND school-friendly. Some of these parents are doing this alone.  A vast majority have already worked from home, but fear of catching a possibly life-threatening virus that has yet to see a vaccine causes a lot of anxiety. When trying to make everything as “normal” as possible in times of crisis and sudden upheaval, is the side hustle and the exploitation of your hobbies that important? If we aren’t learning the language we’ve been putting off for months during this time, are we undisciplined? If we don’t pick up our art supplies and become the newest art sensation on the front of the Instagram explore page, are we wasting our lives in the pursuit of being lazy? Or are we more disciplined in the pursuit of trying to do our best given that most of our typical day to day turns upside down? 

I am lucky, however, to still have an income and no kids to aid in my distraction of “exploiting” my time for productivity purposes. But, I am still facing a ton of challenges. I am a flight attendant who typically has three to four days off during the week, which to most (and myself), is a pretty flexible schedule. I also am trying to break into the world of multimedia and have several other hobbies. So you could very well argue that I am the queen of the side hustle and understand the importance of using time wisely. You could also say that I am hypocritical as I launch my very first blog post as the constituent in the grand scheme of becoming an influential content creator. I use my time “productively” to question the toxic relationship we have with hustle culture. While I am here to get my content off the ground, I am mostly here to empathize.

     Thriving from structure and routine when I am not jet setting around the globe, I have also been thrown through a loop. Before COVID  took hold of our daily lives, I began establishing a routine that would allow me to be my most productive self. I would wake up early, grab breakfast, and head to whichever coffee shop struck my fancy—ideas and laptop in tow. Unable to follow the routine I spent weeks establishing, along with the looming torment of a pandemic, having to start all over, became another source of anxiety.  I am struggling with this sudden change just as much as anyone, and comparing a person’s shortcomings based on society's standard of an acceptable work ethic, is the very attitude that fosters shame in so many when they face life appropriate distractions. 

        All of a sudden, the home Keurig became our source of morning coffee and the kitchen island, our brand new work cafe. Overnight, our spouses and children needing our attention became our co-workers. My main point is that everyone’s life got turned upside down in an instant, and we now face other immediate distractions that garner our attention rather than the “hustle” or “grind." People who were laid off are now asking themselves how they are going to pay rent. Teens bummed out because they are missing graduation and prom. Now spouses everywhere are wondering why their partner wants to begin the conversation regarding kitchen repairs as soon as they start a conference call.

         If you are working on a side hustle, have been trying to learn a new language, or engage in a new hobby you’ve been putting off for months; don’t feel bad if it hasn’t transpired by the time the world is up and running again. Our “new normal” has fostered a brand new host of problems we need to manage, along with adjusting and maintaining our regular responsibilities. When an unexpected crisis happens, it isn’t a time where we have absolutely nothing to do. Right now is a time when we have more to think about and adjust on top of our already busy lives. Messages that are aimed to spark inspiration are often worded as messages that cause shame. Speaking as if those who have yet to start something they’ve wanted to accomplish aren’t disciplined are viewing life through a narrow lens where everything exists in a world of black and white, where everyone is living in a world void of imperfection and equal opportunity. Our mindset that if you haven’t accomplished or started anything AMAZING, GREAT, or PROFOUND during a  period of necessary rest lies at the heart of our obsession with hustle culture. 

Our value shouldn’t be held on the pedestal of production. Our value as people should be based on whatever it is that helps us feel safe, rejuvenated, and like we live a fulfilling life. If being productive makes you feel good about yourself, that’s great! However, we are all individuals with different expectations and visions for how we wish to live and spend our time. We are all in such a rush to be the “next best thing” that we sometimes forget to prioritize our values and take care of our needs.

    My notion isn’t to be proud or self-righteous, because I also have issues succumbing to the pressure of hustle culture. More often than not, I feel guilty for resting or taking the day to read a novel for my enjoyment when I feel overwhelmed or stressed. During my time in self-isolation, I slowly realize that I am allowed to feel just as anxious and unfocused like everyone else regardless of my goals. I know that with a change in routine also comes a period of readjustment and realigning of priorities. If we treated people as individuals and understood that at our core, we are all human, not machines meant to run on empty for the sake of production; maybe we could allow more room for understanding and empathy- even for ourselves. While the quarantine is a good time to start that fantastic business venture you have been putting off, or read the book you have put down several times because you are always on the go; you are not undisciplined if life got in the way like it always does. Sometimes, learning to be present, knowing your limits, and not holding on to others' expectations is the only discipline we need.

5+ Happy Birthday Surprise Ideas for Babies

Happy Birthday Surprise Ideas for Babies: The little cry of an infant is probably the most delightful sound one has ever heard. The delicate little baby is the darling of every family member. Their wide eyes curiously taking in the new world around them are adorable little pools of joy. Their gurgle as try to communicate perhaps, little tales of their adventures in the new world is very cute to watch. They smile and love everyone. They sometimes laugh because they are well aware that it makes others laugh. Such a compassionate way of sharing joy could only be expected from these pure angels who are a gift from God. Before we know it, they are all grown up. So what do we gift a baby who is setting his/her tiny foot in the first year of their lives? Birthday stock provides you some wonderful gifting ideas for First Birthdays.

Happy Birthday Surprise Ideas for Babies

  1) Clothes We know what you’re thinking. Why purchase clothes when the tiny one will outgrow them in the next two minutes? But hear me out here. You could buy cute theme costumes for babies and have a portfolio made for the little one. You could get twin sets for the baby and its sibling. Make sure that the fabric is soft, breathable and light. Infants are sensitive to rough materials.

Happy Birthday Surprise Ideas for Babies You could also knit a woolen sweater or little socks or mittens for the baby’s first name day. Look to online tutorials for inspiration. Bring out that sewing machine and get creative. Be an official baby stylist! Whether it is for a cute little princess or a charming little rock star, you get to doll them up in pretty clothes. You could save the set of clothes gifted to the baby on its first birthday as a childhood souvenir for when they are older.   2) Toys You might wonder that this is probably the most clichéd suggestion on the list but trust me, at birthday stock, we give you the most unique ideas. Dolls and teddy bears are all too common. Have you ever thought of gifting your child a set of toys no one has ever seen? Yes. You heard that right. Your champ will be the envy of all the babies in the block. The art of toy making was developed as far back as 2000 BC. With cheap flashy models from China flowing into the markets, Indigenous toys are losing their business and slowly fading away. Toys such as Channapatna toys are so popular that they have earned the GI status in the globe. Indigenous toys are mostly manufactured by hand or simple tools with materials sourced from the natural reserves of the region.

Happy Birthday Surprise Ideas for 1 year old The toys are made with soft and lightweight wood which makes it easy for infants to handle. The toys are painted using organic paints or vegetable dyes which are safe for infants. Also, they are minimally priced and thus can be bought in large quantities or can be replaced easily if the child is bored with them. You would also be aiding the growth of the informal economy and the small scale industries by generating revenue for them. Just imagine, your little one would be a little pioneer in the growth of a marginalized sector of the economy.   3) Paintings This suggestion might seem very out of place on the list. You may opine that a painting would be a suitable gift for a connoisseur of arts. What would babies possibly do with a painting? You must note that babies are in the peak of their development stage at the age of one. They are more aware about their surroundings and they try and learn new words and new things. Purchase a painting in bright but soothing colors and hang it in your baby’s room. The bright and colourful painting will be a good addition for the baby room. The baby will have something pleasing to look at while it plays with its toys.

Birthday surprise ideas for 2 year old baby Also, with the painting as a permanent fixture in place, the baby will develop a sense of comfort and familiarity with its room. This creates a sense of security for the baby. You could also get creative and paint the baby’s room with cartoons, alphabets or animals. Or let your baby make his own art by finger painting on the walls. There could be no fancier gift than giving your baby a big canvas to unleash its creativity.   4) Skill Development Every parent aspires for their child to inculcate skills and to be smart. The stage of infancy is a crucial stage in development. As a parent, over protectiveness would cause more harm than good. Let go a little. Run a little risk. Enroll your child at a certified swimming school. Swimming is an important life skill and teaching a child to swim during infancy would be the best. They can shun fear of water at a young age. The activity will also help them develop strong muscles.

Birthday surprise ideas with Clay modelling Clay modelling is another skill which infants can develop from a young age. Having colourful blocks of clay to play with will mould their creativity. You can also buy a set of music CDs of soothing music, rhymes or stories to play for the baby. You could play sleep music to help the baby relax. This will also enhance their senses.   5) Furniture I know it sounds fancy but it’s worth it. You could design fun furniture for your baby’s first year birthday. you can put your innovativeness to the test and have customized furniture made for your baby such as a bed with a slide by the foot or an indoor jungle gym. You could also create a little sandbox in your garden or balcony for your baby to play in. you can also have a bouncy castle in your baby’s bedroom because one can never get enough of a bouncy castle! You could have a set of feeding table, cradle and a walker made for the baby in matching colours.

Birthday Gift ideas with babies Have the baby’s name or photo embossed on the furniture to create a personal touch. With custom furniture, you can also make sure that the furniture is safe for your baby with blunt edges and minimalist design.   At the end of the day, whatever gift you choose for your one year old, they will absolutely love it for sure because babies are never materialistic and judgmental. They know to recognize love when they see it. We may be choosing a gift for our baby but the baby has already chosen to love us no matter what. If you love these birthday gifts ideas for babies then please give your feedback through comments. Read the full article
