ThinkFilm Grabs The Beastie Boys' Awesome

ThinkFilm has nabbed worldwide rights to Awesome: I Fuckin' Shot That, a kaleidoscopic Beastie Boys concert documentary shot mainly by 50 fans on hand-held Hi8 cameras at Madison Square Garden, president and CEO Jeff Sackman said Tuesday.

The film was directed by Beastie rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch, using the moniker Nathaniel Hornblower. "Frantic" is the word Yauch used to describe the footage, which he assembled from material recorded Oct. 9, 2004, by fans, six band friends using DV 24p cameras and two high-quality tour video cameras offering bird's-eye and long-distance views.
