In addition to Ringer Ross, other panelists include music supervisor Howard Paar ("Sue�o," "D.E.B.S.," "Monster," "Party Monster," "Alias," "Dogtown and Z-Boys"), Bug Music's Sasha Ross, filmmaker Allison Anders ("Gas Food Lodging," "Border Radio," "Mi vida loca," "Grace of My Heart," "Things Behind The Sun"), filmmaker Kurt Voss ("Down and Out with the Dolls," "The Heist," "Sugar Town," "Amnesia," "Where the Day Takes You") and Natural Energy Lab's Danny Benair.
The second annual Don't Knock the Rock Film & Music Festival is a historical journey of classic and new rock and roll films that contain quintessential music performances and vintage footage of important artists in their prime. Beyond film programming, the festival is showcasing new musicians through a teenage rock and roll-off at Amoeba Records and performances at Hollywood's Knitting Factory. Lectures, a record swap and receptions will be held in cafes, restaurants and clubs around Hollywood.
