I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, directed by Justin Krook, is a heart-pumping yet heart-wrenching documentary about one of the most eminent DJs working today: Steve Aoki. In the lead-up to Aoki's biggest show of his career, this introspective doc examines the driving force behind his passion: Rocky Aoki, daredevil showman, Benihana founder, and Steve's looming father figure. From producers David Gelb (Chef's Table, Jiro Dreams of Sushi), Matthew Weaver (Rock of Ages), Matt Colon, Happy Walters, Executive Producer Michael Mailis and Co-Producer Susan Wrubel.

Running on empty even at 80 minutes, the film squanders multiple opportunities - to explain what Aoki's work is, to locate his place in the fractured (and infighting) EDM world.August 23, 2016
The world of Steve Aoki is detailed with enough depth to deliver a full, encapsulating picture, even if documentarian Justin Krook might have been able to push a little farther at times.
