Filmmakers Behind ‘Frida,’ ‘Elton John: Never Too Late’ and More Talk the Power of Documentaries at Variety’s Inaugural Doc Dreams NYC


Variety hosted its inaugural Doc Dreams NYC event, which featured conversations with the filmmakers behind documentary features such as "Frida."

“I Am: Celine Dion” follows the Canadian singer’s musical journey and life-altering illness, the latter of which Taylor admitted she was not aware of prior to signing onto the project. The filmmaker recalled discovering Kahlo around the age of 19 through a self-portrait of the artist standing along the border between the United States and Mexico. Cutler detailed his experience committing forgery and larceny in order to acquire a ticket to a 1974 Elton John concert which took place on Thanksgiving evening at Madison Square Garden.
