"After EDC" is a short documentary examining the incidents behind the 14th annual Electric Daisy Carnival, a 2-day festival hosted at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum which drew the largest attendance ever in the history of music gatherings in North America. What started as a weekend celebration of electronic dance culture ended with shocking news headlines of injuries, drug overdoses, and one tragic death. The level of media coverage paid to EDC - unseen with any other event in the past decade - reignited a debate over the role of ecstasy in the rave scene, and prompted Los Angeles County to design public safety measures that had never before been attempted by any body of government in the United States. This film explores the strength of electronic dance culture and the relationship between the rave community and public officials - that which has been put to the test within a web of music, drugs, and politics on the brink of implosion in Los Angeles. Directed by Le Sheng Liu. Produced in association with DanceSafe. Scheduled for completion this summer.
