Magnolia Home Entertainment has just released the music documentary The World According to Allee Willis from director Alexis Spraic on Digital and On Demand. Take one look at award-winning songwriter / artist Allee Willis and you see someone unafraid to be themselves. Allee began filming her life in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. This film is the realization of her wish that her “final art piece be someone putting together the trail I have left behind.” The film features appearances from Mark Cuban, Lily Tomlin, Paul Reubens, Michael Patrick King, and more.
In anticipation of this exciting release, GVN has been provided with an exclusive new clip from the label featuring music icon Cyndi Lauper discussing the subject. Take a look and then get the full details below!
Synopsis: The film follows the eclectic life of Allee Willis, the woman behind the “Friends” theme song, Earth Wind & Fire’s “September”, and “The Color Purple”. Dressed in a cacophony of prints and colors, her signature asymmetrical haircut and famed parties at her real-life Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Allee didn’t waste any opportunity to tell you what she was about. But privately, Allee struggled with not fitting established gender and sexual norms. She buried herself in her work, until true love manifested her ultimate masterpiece – self-acceptance.
