Bill Withers Movie Getting Unusual Release

10/21/2009
.
(PR) There is a new film that takes audiences on the incredible journey of soul legend Bill Withers. "Still Bill," directed by Alex Vlack and Damani Baker, is a heartfelt and intimate portrait of Bill Withers, an unlikely superstar who we haven't heard from in two decades. The film will screen across the country and be released via the B-Side Entertainment's signature Theatrical-on-Demand™ program where individuals and organizations can host a screening of any size, in any location, at any time.

Today, B-Side Entertainment announced that it has acquired Alex Vlack and Damani Baker's Still Bill, to be released via the distributor's signature Theatrical-on-Demand™ program where individuals and organizations can host a screening of any size, in any location, at any time. Beginning today, Still Bill's website www.stillbillthemovie.com will allow audiences to sign up to host their own screening of the film.

"Still Bill is one of those rare documentaries that delivers what it promises: an incredible journey into the life of a legendary artist. Bill Withers is as cool as his music, and a guy whose humility is completely incongruous with the enormous impact his songs have had on the music business and pop culture," said Chris Hyams, B-Side's Founder and CEO, "Alex and Damani have done a brilliant job of crafting a beautiful portrait of this amazing man."

Still Bill is an intimate portrait of soul legend Bill Withers, best known for his classics "Ain't No Sunshine," "Lean On Me," "Lovely Day," "Grandma's Hands," and "Just the Two of Us." With his soulful delivery and warm, heartfelt sincerity, Withers has written the songs that have – and always will – resonate deeply within the fabric of our times.

Filmmakers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack follow Withers and offer a unique and rare look inside the world of this fascinating man. Through concert footage, journeys to his birthplace, interviews with music legends, his family and closest friends, Still Bill presents the story of an artist who has written some of the most beloved songs in our time and who truly understands the heart and soul of a man.

"As long-time Bill Withers fans, we were honored that he let us into his life and shared the story of his ascent to Grammy-winning artist with us," said filmmakers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack. "Now, seven years later, we look forward to working with B-Side to impart that story to other fans who, like us, wondered what became of the talented man behind so many classic American songs."

This acquisition brings B-Side's current 2009 slate to eight films.
