Description

On this episode, I chat to Stuart Watts - a producer and director whose credits include acclaimed music documentaries for artists as varied as Paul Weller, Marc Bolan, Andrea Bocelli, Jeff Wayne, and Jeff Beck - along with legendary icons outside of music such as Muhammad Ali and Christopher Reeve.


Stuart was the driving force behind Paul Weller: Into Tomorrow, the 2006 documentary that, for the first time, captured Paul’s whole story: from his childhood in Woking through The Jam, The Style Council and his solo years.


A lifelong Jam fan himself, Stuart took inspiration from The Kid Stays in the Picture to let Paul narrate his own journey, resulting in a film full of candid reflection, unseen footage, and intimate moments. In this conversation, Stuart lifts the lid on the making of the documentary, working directly with Paul and his family, and the responsibility - and thrill - of telling the story of an artist you’ve idolised your entire life.
