I don’t feel I have a choice

I Don’t Feel I Have a Choice is a feature-length film following the Myspace-era band Mt. St. Helens Vietnam band as they attempt to relaunch the band after a 10-year hiatus. Marshall was 13 when he and his brother started the band and played their first show to much fanfare. 10 years after the band's quiet dissolution, this family band attempts to recreate the momentum and buzz from their 2008 “World Premier Show.”
