Miley Cyrus, Billy Idol Films Lead Live Nation’s Big Look at Tribeca Festival
Live Nation's film & TV division is going big at the Tribeca Film Festival, with offerings from Miley Cyrus, Billy Idol, Becky G, and Ty Dolla $ign.
For a company that rarely does anything quietly, over the past decade Live Nation ’s film and TV division has been developing a formidable slate of music-related documentaries and scripted content in a very under-the-radar way. But it’s making a big splash at this week’s Tribeca Film Festival with five titles: Miley Cyrus’ “Something Beautiful,” a visual companion to her new album; the harrowing redemption story “ Billy Idol Should Be Dead”; Ty Dolla $ign’s “Still Free TC,” about the R&B artist working to get his brother released from prison; Becky G’s “Rebbeca”; and the scripted project ”K-Pops,” which was written, directed and stars Anderson .Paak. “But Billy was really willing to go there in a way that a lot of artists aren’t, in the sense of talking very openly about, ‘We all did heroin, we thought it made us more creative,’ where it feels like others try to hedge and speak more generally about drugs or their wild times, and then follow those tropes as well.”
