"Heavy Metal Picnic," new film by "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" filmmaker

Over at Dangerous Minds, Richard Metzger blogs about a new documentary coming out by Jeff Krulik, "the VHS auteur responsible for one of the most legendary low-fi masterpieces of the tape trading underground of the 80s and 90s, Heavy Metal Parking Lot." Krulik's new film "returns to the era of his much-beloved earlier film, [and] could almost be considered a prequel." YouTube Link.

If this isn’t what metal is all about i don’t know what is. Honestly it looks great for what it is, and should be interesting to see how it’s edited together.
