Little Richard: I Am Everything with Lisa Cortes and Ondi Timoner (Ep. 425)
Director Lisa Cort\xe9s discusses her new film, Little Richard: I Am Everything, with fellow Director Ondi Timoner in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, Cort\xe9s discusses her thought processes when structuring the film, applying her knowledge and experiences from the music industry to the production, and her attempts to shake up the structure of a typical music documentary.\n\nThe film tells the story of music legend Little Richard, combining a wealth of his archival and performance footage to reveal the true Black queer origins of rock n\u2019 roll. As the icon\u2019s story is unspooled, so too are the contradictions between his life and music, as he gave the world what he was never able to give himself.\n\nSee photos and a summary of this event below:\n\nhttps://dga.org/Events/2023/September2023/DocSeries_LittleRichardIAE-0723.aspx
