It’s a brave rock star who will risk letting someone else tell their story on film. But that’s what Sheryl Crow has done in“When my manager [Scooter Weintraub], who’s been with me for 32 years, came to me and said, ‘Do you have an interest in having a documentary made about you?’ I was really reticent to do that,” Crow admitted as she stopped by Deadline’s SXSW Studio in Austin, with Scott next to her.
For Scott, director of an acclaimed 2018 documentary about director Hal Ashby, part of the mission was to create an environment on set that felt comfortable for her subject. “We kind of created a family, I felt like, around you, with your team,” Scott said to Crow. “It just became a good foundation for truth and honesty.”
Crow, winner of 9 Grammy Awards, doesn’t hold back in the film — speaking openly about facing sexual harassment during her career, getting a big break early on with Michael Jackson, her relationship with cyclist Lance Armstrong, surviving breast cancer, and suffering depression at times. “Really, truth be told, the hard stuff in life is what brought about the art. And I think every artist will attest to that fact,” Crow observed. “There is a whole other life in my music that doesn’t get heard in radio. So for people who don’t know who I am, but only know me by “All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun’ and ‘Every Day Is a Winding Road,’ that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I felt like if we’re going to tell the story, we need to tell the whole story.
