‘SPRINGSTEEN & I’ is a motion picture event created for the fans, by the fans and includes Springsteen’s most loved songs and unseen legendary performances throughout his career. A unique music documentary and collective filmmaking experience produced by Ridley Scott Associates and Mr. Wolf and made with the full support of Springsteen, his management and label.

Forty years ago, Bruce Springsteen burst onto the rock scene and changed it forever. With over 120 million albums sold worldwide and numerous awards, including a staggering 20 Grammys, his music defines a generation. Behind the songs are remarkable stories about the fans who lived by them. Now audiences everywhere can discover how the sound of Bruce Springsteen became the soundtrack to so many lives.

‘SPRINGSTEEN & I’ was inspired by Scott Free London’s critically acclaimed feature film ‘Life in a Day’. It is produced by Ridley Scott Associates’ companies Scott Free and Black Dog Films and directed by Baillie Walsh (best known for 2008’s ‘Flashbacks of a Fool’ starring Daniel Craig) and executive produced by Ridley Scott.  Springsteen’s team has been incredibly generous with unseen archival footage and concert material.

Ridley Scott commented “This beautifully crafted film provides a unique insight into the powerful bond between a recording artist and those who connect so profoundly with his music.”

With a juggernaut career spanning five decades, this year is the 40th anniversary of Springsteen’s debut LP ‘Greetings from Asbury Park’ and 2014 marks the 30th year since the release of seminal rock and roll album ‘Born in the USA’.
