Smooth, Hocus Pocus and French Cowboy were 3 entities of Nantes's music scene (France), who had reached a national and global recognition. Through crossed point of views mixing their unusual paths, this documentary, shot and edited over the course of three years, is focusing on dissecting the independent music production system.
Thanks to a distinct treatment through all of its creation process, D.I.Y. sneaks into each bands musical territory and questions, with its form as well as with its substance, the sustainability of a system living a fundamental transformation.
