You Gotta Fight. For The Right. Angle.

The Beastie Boys handed out 50 video cameras to fans at a November 2004 MSG concert, and have edited the footage they shot into a concert documentary called Awesome! I F***ing Shot That!:

The film will cost the Beastie Boys about $1.2 million when the sampling fees are added in; the band returned all the Hi-8 Sony cameras (a step above a typical camcorder) to the stores where they were bought, in some cases for a full refund.

The film debuts Saturday at Sundance and comes out in March. They’re promoting it by playing the Park City launch party for MySpace’s filmmaker community.
