Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In his compelling film, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom. Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, Twenty Feet from Stardom boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting to name just a few.
Morgan Neville was born in Los Angeles. His documentary features include Brian Wilson: A Beach Boy's Tale (1999), The Cool School (2008), Troubadours (2011), Twenty Feet from Stardom (2013), which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary, and Best of Enemies (2015), co-directed with Robert Gordon. The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble (2015) and Keith Richards: Under the Influence (2015) are his latest features.
