Stuart Watts - Director Paul Weller Into Tomorrow Documentary (2006)

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.
