What We Started Trailers

Bert Marcus and Cyrus Saidi present an informed and absorbing exploration of the history of EDM, boosted by an energetic soundtrack and anchored by the personal stories of legendary DJ Carl Cox and superstar newcomer Martin Garrix. Insights from numerous other DJs and musical talents like Moby, David Guetta, Paul Oakenfold and Usher help tell the often oppositional tales of old school vs. new school and mainstream vs. underground.

To me, this movie is perfection.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

While skeptical at first, i'm now officially telling all my friends (EDM lovers and others) about What We Started ! I love this film because it tells such a beautiful story and is so informative to all who watch it. Whether your a modern EDM fan, an OG fan, or not a fan at all, this film does a great job of paralleling and contrasting the old with the new, with an exceptional cast.

This documentary was so cool to watch! As someone who does not know much about the EDM world, it was definitely an eye opener. I felt like I got to experience the greatness of the music genre through seeing the behind-the-scenes of festivals and getting an inside look into how the DJ's feel before shows.

I saw a sneak peak of this film a few weeks ago, and it was great. I think it's a groundbreaking film -- nothing else that's been made about EDM does what this movie does. Goes behind the scenes into the careers of two of the most prolific artists in the field and also dives into the evolution of the genre in an super interesting a beautifully shot and edited way. I hear it's coming out in March 2018 in theaters and highly recommend this film.
