Today, BroadwayWorld presents an exclusive look behind the scenes at the innovative new Bruce Springsteen documentary SPRINGSTEEN & I, presented by Fathom-equipped movie theaters nationwide for two special showings on July 22 and 30 only, by talking to the talented creator and director of the project, Baillee Walsh. Walsh has previously displayed his musical documentary skills with the Oasis project LORD DON'T SLOW ME DOWN, as well as shown off his cinematic skills with the feature film FLASHBACKS OF A FOOL, starring frequent collaborator Daniel Craig. In addition to film work, Walsh also enjoys success as a music video director - having helmed a dozen Massive Attack videos, among others - as well as a designer commercial director, for brands such as Cartier, all of which he touches upon in this expansive chat. Most of all, Walsh examines the many layers of the new Springsteen salute, featuring fan-submitted footage and never-before-seen vintage and recent live concert captures of The Boss himself live, onstage, in action - and in charge, as always. Walsh discusses Springsteen's support of the film as well as master director/producer Ridley Scott's instructive involvement, as well as what fans can expect from the LIFE IN A DAY-esque music/film experience. Plus, Walsh expresses his enthusiasm for Fathom Events in general and expounds upon the role of technology in entertainment today. All of that and much, much more in this spotlight on one of the most unique and electric music films of the 21st century.
