From the quiet suburbs of Dunedin, to packed venues and signing with international record labels, Shayne Carter has never been one to follow the rules — and his music shows it. Life in One Chord chronicles his early teenage punk ambitions, to being swept up in the Dunedin sound, forming band Straitjacket Fits, and his later reinvention with Dimmer. Directed by Margaret Gordon (Into the Void) and narrated by Carol Hirschfeld, Life in One Chord fuses candid interviews, extensive archival footage and Carter’s own sharp reflections to capture the grit, chaos, and creativity behind his music and legacy.
