This Guy Snuck into Coachella, Bonnaroo & The Grammys And Made a Movie About It.

THE ULTIMATE FESTIVAL NINJA!

 

Marcus Haney is an undoubtedly cool dude. Someone who has managed to get into festivals without tickets, making fake press passes and somehow ends up on the main stages kicking back with his favourite bands, including scoring  some pretty fantastic footage on his camera.

Recently, Noisey interviewed Marcus on his brave and somewhat nutty efforts behind getting into festivals. He’s claimed to have been almost fifty music festivals all over the world, sneaking in, getting past main-stage security, capturing stuff on his cam…and eventually getting kicked out. But all is not in vain, he managed to catch the attention of his favourite bands with his videos – namely Mumford & Sons (who later invited him on their tours).

“Every time i sneak in there’s that moral dilemma, how much fun i have makes up for that.”

Professionally Marcus works for HBO, shooting and creating music videos. Which is probably where the  immense interest in  festivals come from. According to the interview, he’s snuck into festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury in the craziest way possible, like hand gliding in and sleeping underneath trailers – the guy’s done it all. And what does he do with four years worth of footage? He makes a movie ( aptly titled No Cameras Allowed), the trailer of which looks pretty fucking awesome.
