The Rough Cut

Beastie Boys Story


Listen Later

Editors Jeff Buchanan ACE and Zoe Schack probably had no idea what they were really getting into when they were approached by the Beastie Boys and director Spike Jonze to help edit some clips and photos in support of a little "book tour".  That tour became a live, four-night, multi-city theatrical presentation that would ultimately be the cornerstone of a new documentary, Beastie Boys Story.  This AppleTV+ original was both an exhausting and exciting mission for Jeff and Zoe; requiring them to not just log long hours in the edit suite, but also in the writer's room, the dress rehearsals and in the audience for all the live multi-camera events.  At each point they took a copious amount of notes that would be crucial in helping them to find the movie and its emotional touch points from within a mountain of material.  The end result is a two-hour journey that not only tells the story of the band, but details an enduring friendship and personal evolution lead by their band mate, childhood friend and spiritual leader, the late Adam "MCA" Yauch.
