No Cameras Allowed first aired in LA before making its debut with MTV in August.
No Cameras Allowed is an incredible documentary that follows the career of James Marcus Haney, better known as Marcus, who breaks into the biggest music festivals, concerts and even award shows in the world. For any concert lover, this documentary is a MUST see!
We all dream of just getting to go to the biggest music festivals – but for free, that’s unheard of. There has always been a thought in my mind of wishing I could just make fake press passes and get into to concerts for free but that always seemed so unrealistic… until now.

Marcus Haney quickly became addicted to sneaking into concerts, making fake wristbands, press passes and just essentially sweet-talking and fast-talking his way into to shows without being caught. Haney would throw on multiple wristbands to make him seem like he was supposed to be there. Also, he wore multiple cameras around his neck to seem important and a legitimate photographer. Well, it worked.

Haney successfully snuck into Coachella with a handful of friends multiple times, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, Austin City Limits and even the Grammy’s.

Singer Ellie Goulding even tweeted at him, daring him to sneak into her private show on a deserted island in the Bermuda Triangle. Haney, of course, successfully did and met her backstage.

Marcus Haney is now a Director/Photographer, who, like all of us, just started out as a fan. He has become very well know for his sneaking into music festivals, leading to him going on tour with Mumford & Sons as their official photographer. Haney took some big risks to get tot where he is today but so far it has all seemed to work out in his favor.
