The Smart Studios Story, one of the top flicks in this year’s Wisconsin Film Festival, will be hitting the road on a DIY tour this fall. Wendy Schneider’s thrilling documentary covers the rise of the studio that recorded such ’90s classics as Nirvana’s Nevermind and features more than 100 music cuts — all of which need to be licensed and paid for. This fundraiser is the last chance for the Madison audience to see the director’s cut, and the first chance to put in a bid for a special vinyl pressing of a companion album. Local hero Butch Vig is Skyping in, and rockers will get a chance to remember the glory days.
