Hit So Hard

Hit So Hard

Hit So Hard is a 2011 American documentary film directed by P. David Ebersole. The film details the life and near death story of Patty Schemel, drummer of the seminal '90s alternative rock band Hole, and charts her early life, music career, and spiral into crack cocaine addiction. The film weaves together Hi8 video footage Schemel recorded while on Hole's 1994-95 world tour with contemporary interviews with her, bandmates Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, and Melissa Auf der Maur, as well as her family members. The film also features interviews with other female drummers and musicians, including Nina Gordon, Kate Schellenbach, Gina Schock, Debbi Peterson, and Phranc. The film's score is written by Roddy Bottum of Faith No More. It was produced by Todd Hughes and Christina Soletti and was released theatrically in North America in 2012 by Well Go USA via Variance Films. It also screened a series of film festivals, including South by Southwest, the Marché du Film at Cannes, the Seattle Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, The Portland Queer Documentary Film Festival, and Outfest. The title is a reference to a song on Hole's 1998 album Celebrity Skin.

Patty Schemel:
I knew that somehow music would take me somewhere better and it did.

Alice de Buhr:
It's a nasty, greasy, icky business.

Patty Schemel:
Thank God for punk rock and those people because you could be whatever you wanted to be.

Courtney Love:
I don't have one rival. Madonna wakes up every day and someone wants to be her. Nobody wants to be me which is so awesome.

Courtney Love:
Someone once said that Nirvana attracted everybody that'd ever been through a broken home. My niche is a lot more specific. It's a lot of females and a lot of gay guys and a few advanced, evolved heterosexual men. Not many but there're a few out there.

Eric Erlandson:
Every drummer I'm starting to realize is a comedian in the closet and Patty was a full on comedian

Phranc:
To me the grunge movement was all about fashion. And you know where the grunge movement took all their fashion from? From the lesbians.

Patty Schemel:
You know I could be going out with Angelina Jolie but if I'm not clean and sober and I'm with Angelina Jolie and there's a guy over there with a crack pipe, I'm be haning out with the bum with the crack pipe... and the shopping cart.

Melissa Auf der Maur:
Ultimately you're committed to each other and love each other. Being in a band is just this unspoken unconditional love with all the weirdness that comes with it.
