No Fun City is the collaboration of two canadian rock girls Melissa James and Kate Kroll who have dedicated over a year and half to making a DIY film about Vancouver's punk music underground and its current struggles.No Fun City is a Rock’n’Roll journey to the heart of a creative community that is fighting conflicting business interests and outdated city regulations with the relentless fuel of music and determination.

Vancouver has long been known as the "no fun city" but below the no fun veneer is a dedicated music scene that's loud, experimental, and innovative, but has few venues in which to be heard. Many of Vancouver's musicians are forced to play in undisclosed and illegal venues such as warehouses, basements and parking lots, whilst legal venues are constantly fighting city regulations to stay open. This creative community is based in the Downtown Eastside, a neighborhood that is faced with the harsh reality of addiction and poverty; these worlds collide to create a unique and often misunderstood part of the city.

The film follows the lives of people who build and support the scene, such as Wendy 13, owner of legendary punk bar the Cobalt and Justin Gradin, founder of illegal "noise" venue the Emergency Room, over a year as Vancouver gears up for the 2010 Olympics. It provides an insider's tour of the challenges of working in transient venues, mounting last-minute events and the constant emergence of great bands and new talent that disputes the city's no-fun name. We watch as they face police raids, evictions, deportation, million dollar lawsuits, and city hall for the sole purpose of trying to keep the town rocking.

The narrative is told through interviews, stories and comments from both established and up and coming Vancouver bands such as Ogre and Cevin Key from legendary industrial band Skinny Puppy as well as Joey Shithead from 80's punk band DOA. It features live high-energy music performances, candid behind the scenes action and a pumping local soundtrack. This film is about the importance of music, passion, and dedication in communities that often don’t have anything else. Since the issue of alternative venues being shut down has become a universal problem, towns worldwide can relate to a little bit of what we call No Fun City.
