Netflix has purchased the feature-length documentary “How I’m Feeling Now” by Lewis Capaldi. And it will release on April 5.
The documentary, which will be released worldwide on April 5 through Independent Entertainment, has been acquired worldwide by the streamer. BMG and Pulse Films, a VICE Media Group company, produced the project, which was co-financed by Quickfire Films.
“Capaldi Lewis: Joe Pearlman is in charge of directing “How I’m Feeling Now.” After the Screaming Stops”) and gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the multiplatinum and award-winning artist as he returns to his roots after unprecedented global success, including five headline tours and singles that reached the top of the charts. As the 26-year-old Capaldi returns to his family’s home in Scotland, where he began, he struggles with balancing fame and normality and begins work on his always difficult sophomore album.
This started out as a film about the process of creating the ‘difficult second album’ but ended up being an astonishingly unguarded portrait of the pressures of fame on young shoulders, exploring one of the great conversations of our age – mental health,” said Sam Bridger, head of music film at Pulse Films. “Such unfiltered access to one of the biggest stars on the planet is testament to the bravery of Lewis and his team who invited us into their world, and the incredible trust and storytelling instincts of director Joe Pearlman, producer Alice Rhodes and the production team.”
Alistair Norbury, BMG president of repertoire and marketing U.K., said: “We are delighted to help bring this project to life with Lewis and of course Pulse and Quickfire Films. As well as a great songwriter and musician, Lewis is a compelling character who has a genuine and deep connection with fans. This release further demonstrates our commitment to support artists across every service area from records to publishing, film to books, neighbouring rights and increasingly artist management and life too.
