Director Brett Morgen is no stranger to telling the story of some of Rock N’ Roll’s biggest stars. Now, he’s up to the task yet again.
LISTEN NOW: WTF with Marc Maron - Brett Morgen
Morgen joined host Marc Maron on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast for an extensive conversation about his life as a filmmaker. One of the topics the duo discussed was his new film Moonage Daydream, the first documentary to be fully authorized by the estate of the late David Bowie.
Morgen received unprecedented access to Bowie’s archives that will showcase never before seen performances, artwork, and other fascinating artifacts. “Once I acquired the rights, the executor said ‘David’s not here to approve the film. It’s never going to be David Bowie on David Bowie. It needs to be Brett Morgen on David Bowie and you need to embrace that,’” he said. “From the very beginning it was one artists’ interpretations of another with no strings attached and full access with anything in the archive.”
