Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story is a 2005 documentary film produced, directed, and edited by Scot Barbour, based on the life of Andrew Wood, singer/songwriter for the Seattle-based alternative rock bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The film includes interviews with fellow Seattle musicians and friends such as Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Jeff Ament, and Stone Gossard.
Andrew Wood died of a heroin overdose in 1990, just as his band Mother Love Bone was poised for commercial success. Upon Wood's death, two founding members of Mother Love Bone, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard along with Eddie Vedder, formed a band called Mookie Blaylock. However, they soon changed the band's name to Pearl Jam and became one of the most successful rock acts of the 1990s.
