“The Creator and the creative process go hand-in-hand,” says Daniel Smith in the introduction to JL Aronson’s film DANIELSON: A FAMILY MOVIE (OR, MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE HERE). The film explores the faith and sounds of this fresh, enigmatic Christian indy rock band, made up of Daniel Smith (who refers to himself as Danielson because he is the son of the lord), his brothers and sisters, his wife, a childhood friend, the friend’s wife, and his sister’s husband. The splendid Sufjan Stevens toured with the band before making his first critically acclaimed album, so he is also featured heavily in the film. Stop-motion animation, cartoons, home archives, interviews, verite scenes, and concert footage combine to create a portrait of a true artistic original. Listen to the band and see the movie.
