The documentary, \u201cStrong Enough to Break\u201d, is a self-produced documentary that captures the creative music process of the band. The band said the ultimate goal of its visit was to empower and educate their peers about independent labels and the struggles many bands go through today.<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma State University is one of many college campuses Hanson is scheduled to visit this fall. The documentary will be shown at about 25 college campuses in conjunction with its \u201cLive and Electric\u201d tour as well as its opening band contest. Taylor Hanson said the documentary is being shown in the United States and in theaters in Europe and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s \u201cLive and Electric\u201d CD and DVD were available in stores Tuesday. The documentary will release as a DVD, but no release date is scheduled. Taylor Hanson said the documentary shows the band\u2019s struggles with becoming independent.<\/p>\n<p>The brothers have worked on a project to help other independent artists get started. The band said they view themselves as founding fathers in the creation of the \u201cAre You Listening?\u201d Web site, which is a community-based site that allows people to hear independent music.<\/p>\n<p>The band has made two long-form videos in its career, and was approached in 2001 to make this documentary. In the beginning, Isaac said there was no target audience or overall vision for the documentary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted people to see how intense the studio process was for the band,\u201d Taylor Hanson said. \u201cWe thought it would be us versus each other and turned into us versus them, major record labels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A contest to find an opening band for Hanson is taking place at each university showing the documentary screenings. Local independent bands are encouraged to enter the contest by submitting MP3s, band information and band photos to openforhanson@stillwaterscene.com or open.for.hanson@okstate.edu. Three finalists at each university will be chosen, and local fans can vote online for their favorite band to open for Hanson.<\/p>\n<p>Isaac said word of mouth is just as important as air play and that\u2019s why the Web site and the open band contest is important for active music fans. OSU students can submit their band information and if they win the contest, they will open for Hanson Nov. 23 at Cain\u2019s Ballroom in Tulsa, which will conclude Hanson\u2019s fall tour.<\/p>\n<p>Stillwater Radio, Student Union Activities Board, Cain\u2019s Ballroom and Stillwater Scene Magazine sponsored the documentary screening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sponsors were really excited about the turnout for Hanson; the Student Union Little Theater was full,\u201d said Danielle Toussiant, event coordinator for the \u201cStrong Enough to Break\u201d screening. \u201cOSU students were really excited and a lot of people came to the three-song acoustical set as well as the screening. We can\u2019t wait for them to come back again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students who attended the screening and filled out a survey about the documentary received a free \u201cUnderneath\u201d Hanson CD.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocolly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Daily O&#8217;Collegian<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hanson was at OSU to hold a screening of its new documentary in the Student Union Theater.
