Development
All of the performances in 40 Bands 80 Minutes! were filmed on March 6, 2006 at all-ages performance space Il Corral in Hollywood, CA.
The young performers were required to play for less than two minutes, with no re-takes. The results were captured with four digital video cameras and a professional sound crew. Over 52 new bands were filmed. Forty performances are contained in the 40 Bands 80 Minutes! feature documentary. The other twelve performances are available as extras on the 40 Bands 80 Minutes! DVD which was released in late 2006 by the Long Beach, CA-based label, Sounds Are Active Films.
Among the most prominent groups are established L.A. underground bands Abe Vigoda, Anavan, Bizzart, Captain Ahab, Explogasm, Fireworks, Halloween Swim Team, Harassor, Three ( \\\ ), Health, I Heart Lung, and Toxic Loincloth. There are also solo and duo performances by members of acclaimed bands Mika Miko, Friends Forever and Child Pornography. The last performance by legendary Los Angeles band Wives is also included.
Director Sean Carnage, the movie's crew and featured performer Rob Williams (who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest man in the world to make a sandwich with his feet) were producers at Q Television Network, a gay and lesbian cable network which entered bankruptcy the day 40 Bands/80 Minutes! was shot.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
—Women’s Liberation Workshop, Students for a Democratic Society, Radical political/social activist organization. “Liberation of Women,” in New Left Notes (July 10, 1967)
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
