"The Man Who Loves To Hurt Himself" Documentary To Screen At International Filmmaker Festival

"The Man Who Loves To Hurt Himself," an intense documentary film on Today Is The Day's iconic founding frontman Steve Austin, is slated to premiere at the International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema in Nice, France in May.

Directed and filmed by Anthony Short, "The Man Who Loves To Hurt Himself" takes a look at Steve Austin's nearly three decade-long career as a musician and his reflection of life. Short spent two years following Austin around the U.S. on tour, listening to his inner thoughts and questions about life like a fly on the wall.

In his own words, he guides the watcher through this world by stream of consciousness. This reflects the conversations he has with himself in his head -- a first-person account. If you were to have your life flash before your eyes right before you die, this film is what Steve Austin might see about himself.

"The Man Who Loves To Hurt Himself" was selected to screen at the International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema in Nice, France, an offshoot of the world-famous Cannes Film Festival, taking place from May 13th through 20th. Anthony Short has been nominated for Best Director for the film.
