Andrea Bocelli Documentary from eOne

Entertainment One (eOne) is producing and financing the brand-new documentary Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe.

Directed by Cosima Spender, the film offers insights into Bocelli’s life story, providing audiences access to the performer both on- and off-stage. The documentary is currently in production and is scheduled for release next year, coinciding with Bocelli’s 30th anniversary in the music industry.

Produced by eOne in London, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe is being filmed in Italy and the U.S. Andrea Bocelli, Veronica Bocelli, Scott Rodger and Francesco Pasquero serve as executive producers, along with Tara Long, Malcolm Gerrie, Matt Pritchard and Geno McDermott on behalf of eOne. Jan Younghusband is also producing.

Spender said: “It’s always a privilege to be invited into someone else’s world. When that person is Andrea Bocelli, it’s an opportunity to delve into a landscape of sounds, memories and opera that are entirely unique to him. Andrea and I instantly recognized each other thanks to the simple fact: We were born and grew up in the same rural Tuscan region. This meant an immediate understanding of sense of humor, attitude to life and a shared attachment to the land we come from.”

Younghusband added: “This film is a truly unique insight into the life and times of the world’s most loved tenor. It is an honor to work with Andrea and his family, friends and colleagues and to support this unique collaboration with filmmaker Cosima Spender as the Maestro shares his wisdom as never before about the road to his success.”
