Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All is a 2013 independent documentary film chronicling the history of the American punk rock bands the Descendents and All.

It stars drummer Bill Stevenson, singer Milo Aukerman, bassist Karl Alvarez, and guitarist Stephen Egerton, and features nearly all past and present members of both bands.

They release the Fat EP (1981) and their debut album Milo Goes to College (1982), so named because Aukerman leaves the band to study biology.

Stevenson recruits bassist Karl Alvarez from Salt Lake City, who brings in his close friend Stephen Egerton to play guitar.

They replace him with Scott Reynolds and release Allroy's Revenge (1989), but have difficulty finding an audience without the recognizable Descendents name and frontman.

After Aukerman returns to his biochemistry career, All issues Mass Nerder (1998) and Problematic (2000) but remains in the shadow of the Descendents, failing to reach the same level of popularity and record sales.

He takes care of his ailing father during the final year of the latter's life, and their difficult relationship inspires the Descendents song "One More Day".

The bands then experience a hiatus for several years as Alvarez divorces, Egerton moves to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Stevenson focuses on his work as a record producer.

Now in their late forties, the band members enjoy their relaxed performance schedule, audience enthusiasm, old friendships, and ability to bring their children to their shows.

[11][13][14] The DVD and Blu-ray Disc release includes several bonus features: The "Bonus Cut" consists of 50 minutes of footage that was cut from the main film, including more detailed discussion of the Descendents' activities between 1982 and 1985 while Aukerman was in college, Scott Reynolds' reasons for quitting, the Everything Sucks tours, Karl Alvarez's heart attack, and Frank Navetta's death.

[20] Dennis Harvey of Variety said "As younger musicians here attest, many a better-known act might well never have existed without these pioneering units' influence, and Matt Riggle and Deedle LaCour's documentary captures their enduring appeal [...] There's plenty of archival interview and concert footage here, in addition to that shot by the directing duo, edited together into a package as tight and ingratiating as the music itself — of which there is, naturally, a ton soundtracked.

"[10] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times called it "exhilarating and curiously moving" and said that "[it] is, at its throbbing heart, the band saga as creatively prolific identity crisis [...] Though the breathless tale and full-throttle tunes give Filmage plenty of rollicking energy, it's the through-line of genuine soulfulness and tireless artistic commitment that sets it apart.

"[21] Chris Packham of LA Weekly remarked "Bill Stevenson was the founding member and the nucleus of every incarnation, the band's charismatic constant, and the film is ultimately his story.

"[23] Stephen Dalton of The Hollywood Reporter was more critical of the documentary, calling it "lightweight but warm-hearted" and a "genial love letter to a minor musical cult", but saying that it "starts to lose momentum in its midsection as the turnover of interchangeable band members takes on a slightly Groundhog Day feel.

Coming so late in an otherwise light-hearted film, this tonal shift feels like a clumsy bid to add grit and gravitas.

"[24] Postmedia News reviewer Jay Stone felt similarly about the segments focusing on Stevenson, remarking that while he "emerges as the key character in Filmage" and forms the film's human interest story, "his personal history, including problems with a distant father and some health issues, is slipped so casually into Filmage that it takes a while to realize what we're seeing.
