Hit So Hard (2012)
MOVIE SUMMARY:
A portrait of Patty Schemel, the openly gay drummer for Courtney Love's band Hole during its peak years. As a young girl from rural Seattle, Patty always knew she was different from the other kids. She never could have imagined that one day she would be a member of one of the hottest rock music groups of the Nineties, and then lose it all, having embraced the dark side like her friend Kurt Cobain. While focused on Patty, we get a peak at the personal tragedies that plagued the band in its heyday as well as a behind-the-scenes look at hardball music-industry politics. In another angle we can say, HIT SO HARD follows the journey of Patty Schemel, the openly gay drummer of Courtney Love's seminal rock band 'Hole.' As a young girl who always knew she was 'different' from the other kids in her farm town home outside of Seattle, Patty never dreamed she would one day have her picture on the cover of 'Rolling Stone.' But she also never fathomed that she could lose it all. A true survivor of what we now know was the disaffected 'slacker' generation, Patty found herself, like her friend Kurt Cobain, embraced by the dark side.
Hit So Hard is a 2011 American documentary film directed by P. David Ebersole, which premiered at SXSW and New Directors/New Films. The film focuses on the life and near death story of Patty Schemel, most notable as the drummer of Courtney Love's seminal rock band 'Hole' during its peak years. The film weaves together Schemel’s Hi8 videos filmed during her tenure with the band with contemporary interviews with her, her bandmates and other musicians. The film's score is written by Roddy Bottum of Faith No More. It was produced by Todd Hughes and Christina Soletti and will be released theatrically in 2012 by Well Go USA via Variance Films
