Director Simon Head talks about his documentary ‘Subversives–The History of Lowest Of The Low,’ the vital importance of having both ‘Low Karma’ and ‘Errors & Omissions insurance,’ the bravery needed to take on this project with NO prior film-making experience nor qualifications, the thick-skin needed during the editing process, his Mom’s stellar contributions to transcribing 35 hours of interviews, the surprising difficulties in procuring archival footage from CTV/Bell/MuchMusic/CBC, his interesting interactions with Andy Koyama/Art Bergmann/Page Publications/Sum41/Platinum Blonde, and why Lowest of the Low has Bon Jovi-like status in Buffalo NY!
