Feinstein was a cameraman on the 1967 concert film, Monterey Pop,[5]. During Mardi Gras in late February of 1968, Feinstein, Les Blank, Baird Bryant and others were in New Orleans as part of the original “underground filmmakers”[9] crew of Easy Rider that produced the acid trip segment of the movie on 16 mm film, but was replaced afterwards by a more experienced crew with 35 mm movie film.
