R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe announced this week that he is executive producing a new documentary on his late friend and collaborator Vic Chesnutt. Above, you can preview an unmixed excerpt from the film, which documents one of Chesnutt’s last concerts, a November 2009 performance filmed just one month before he died of an apparent suicide. Also set to appear in the film are Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto, members of Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, and more. You can follow the project as it progresses here.
