Underoath - "I Am The Culprit" - Unreleased Documentary

Check out more Underoath rarities at BsideArchive.Blogspot.com Although many Underoath fans undoubtedly enjoyed the band's 2008 live album/DVD Survive, Kaleidoscope, a good portion of those fans probably don't realize that they ended up with a very different package than the one they presently own. The band originally intended to release a candid tour documentary filmed by friend and filmmaker Ryan Gardner, who also works with UO guitarist Tim McTague on their side company Audible Diversion Group. However, after Gardner shadowed the band for much of the Define the Great Line tour, then edited some 90 hours of key footage down to 90 minutes, the project was shelved indefinitely. At present, there are no plans for the film to see the light of day, at least in an official sense. "We were still working on an edit that everyone liked, but we simply ran out of time," says Gardner. "Unfortunately, the version that some people have gotten ahold of still isn't finished. In some spots, there are still color bars on the screen." While moments like interviews with former AP staffers Aaron Burgess and Jonah Bayer (as well as footage of editor in chief Jason Pettigrew's dog Bowie trying to "herd" the band during their AP Podcast interview) inexplicably ended up on the cutting-room floor, the general opinion concerning the documentary is that it's simply too slow to hold the interest of all but the most fanatical Underoath fans. Furthermore, neither the band nor their management turns out looking all that good under the camera's watchful eye. While highlights include Gillespies's stomach-turning finger surgery and all the requisite drama it inspired, most of the film centers on the band's increasingly hands-on approach to their business affairs, notably leading to some heated, accusatory discussions with management. "My problem with the documentary is that it doesn't portray me in the most positive light, which is fine. But if I'm going to risk damaging my career and reputation, it had better be for a quality product," explains manager Randy Nichols. "This was not a quality product." The band has mixed opinions on the end result, too. Dudley and Chamberlain think the doc is a plain old bore, while McTague, who shared Gardner's original vision, still hopes fans will eventually get ahold of it. "I'm a huge proponent of it getting out," he counters. "If it were up to me, I'd put the link up on our website right now, and let people download it. No one's going to complain about it if it's free."
