David Shelburne was a film major at The Ohio State University when he attended Woodstock. You Can’t Refuse was his thesis project and tells you everything you need to know about the thoughts and life perspectives of the college-age counterculture, and is also an homage to films and books such as The Magic Trip and Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The experience of hanging out at the Woodstock Free Stage with the painted school buses influenced David and his wife Ellen’s lives and led to the buses being main characters in the film.
