Matthew Mendenhall and Masashi Ohtsu, the directors, cinematographers, and editors behind Cabin Fever, developed an unobtrusive filming protocol that allowed them to slip virtually unnoticed into every part of the band's 13-day experiment culminating in 5 intimate performances for a small group of fans at Levon Helm's studio in early 2009. A departure from the band's customary style of recording, this intensely personal portrait of the Black Crowes shows the interaction between the band members and the creative process that goes into the production of great music.
