D.I.Y. or Die: How to Survive as an Independent Artist offers a raw glimpse into the world of underground artistry. The film dives into the lives of various artists, each with their unique take on independence and creativity. It feels very much like a collage of thoughts and experiences—some interviews are deeply introspective, while others are filled with that gritty, punk spirit. Ian MacKaye and J Mascis share their philosophies, and you can feel the tension and hope in their voices. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that kind of reflects the chaotic energy of the scene. It’s not just the artists but the ideas they present that feel distinctive—like a manifesto for those who create outside the mainstream.
