Summary

"Piece By Piece" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its animation, vibrancy, and music in telling the life of American musician Pharrell Williams. Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the painstaking process of making a LEGO animated film, how it was different than any other documentary he had ever worked on, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to rent digitally and on VOD. It is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards for Best Animated, Documentary Feature, and Original Song. Thank you, and enjoy!
