About the filmmaker:

For over 25 years, documentarian Morgan Neville has crafted stories focused on culture and exploring the lives of musicians like Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Iggy Pop, and Keith Richards. His acclaimed film 20 Feet from Stardom (2013), a behind-the-scenes look at the experiences of backup singers, won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Documentary and a Grammy Award for Best Music Film. His follow-up, Best of Enemies (2015), was shortlisted for the Academy Award, and his 2018 chronicle of beloved champion of children Fred Rogers, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (2018), became one of the most successful documentary films of all time. For his 2021 film Roadrunner, Neville and his team went through 10,000 hours of raw footage filmed for Bourdain’s shows. Neville’s newest film, Piece by Piece (2024), is a one-of-a-kind biopic about the life of Pharrell Williams told through the iconic style of Lego animation.
