Music video director and documentarian Kevin Kerslake is a fascinating man to talk to. His breadth of knowledge across the industry and fiercely independent mindset, despite working with some of the biggest rock acts of the 1990s, has positioned him into being one of the more respected names in music film. He premiered his new documentary about the tragic life of DJ AM titled "As I AM" two weekends ago during the Tribeca Film Festival and we had the chance to sit down with him for an interview. In our first segment we discussed the film, the life of DJ AM and what is to come for the documentary, including some "mesmerizing" bonus features. -
INTERVIEW: Kevin Kerslake Talks 'As I AM' Ahead Of Tribeca Film Festival Debut
The story of DJ AM is one of tragedy and loss, while also being a tale of triumph and overcoming adversity. The world famous DJ grew to become one of the biggest names in show business during the 2000s as he electrified the nightlife business with his signature style of DJing that combined different styles of music, expert turntablism and showmanship that was unparalleled in his field. Outside of the DJ booth, DJ AM (real name Adam Goldstein) suffered from drug addition and grew up in tragic circumstances. This is all chronicled in a new documentary about Goldstein by veteran music video and documentarian, Kevin Kerslake. The film titled "As I AM" is being premiered tonight (April 17) at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
