Nerdcore For Life, A Documentary About Nerdcore Hip-Hop

Nerdcore For Life, a documentary by Dan Lamoureux about Nerdcore Hip-Hop, screens this Saturday, July 12th at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco as part of the San Francisco Frozen Film Festival.

The term “Nerdcore” refers to both a sub-genre of hip-hop music that is created by self-professed nerds and to the subculture that has grown out of that style of music.

Nerdcore For Life! profiles the fascinating and tumultuous world of Nerdcore Hip-Hop. Born on the internet, “Nerd rap” is breaking out into the real world at a lightning pace. Our cameras follow the top names in this new genre as they celebrate Geek Life to the fullest and deal with the common obstacles that block musicians of all genres from fulfilling their dreams.
