Featurette & UK Release Date Set For Oscar-Winning Doc ’20 Feet From Stardom’

A brand new featurette has been posted for the Oscar-winning (UPDATED!) music documentary 20 FEET FROM STARDOM and it is set to open across the UK and Ireland on March 28th.

Directed by Morgan Neville and being distributed in the UK by Altitude Film Distribution , the film follows the story of the humble background singer. Whether they’re male or female (typically female – go girls!) these talented artists love what they do, but are never given the credit for it. Featuring a host of stars and performers including Mick Jagger and Darlene Love, the documentary sets out the truth of some of the best untold stories, right from the mouths of the singers themselves.

This looks right up my street. As a secret shower singer I’d like to think I’d be able to do their job, but in reality…probably not. Having already screened at festivals around the US and won four awards (with it nominated for many more), this was rightly the fan-favourite in the run up to the Oscars and from what we’ve seen, it richly deserved the award!

20 FEET FROM STARDOM opens on March 28th.
