What We Do Is Secret
American Punk started with a Germ
Directed by Rodger Grossman
Produced by Coalition Films, Picture Machine
A dark, energetic biopic of a punk rock visionary whose charisma and self-destruction became inseparable, told with the frenetic intensity of the scene he helped create.
The true-life story of Darby Crash, who became an L.A. punk icon with his band The Germs. Along with Lorna Doom, Pat Smear, and Don Bolles, Darby Crash completely transformed the L.A. punk scene, while sacrificing everyone he loved, his career, and ultimately his life.
