PRINCE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY: a thread • with a bulk of the digital archiving out of the way and the innerVIEWs wrapping up EZRA and team can now focus on assembling and editing the doc • what type of material would U like 2 see • what absolutely MUST b included?? #PRINCE4EVER

if we keep this thread POSITIVE and FOCUSED maybe we will b heard • obviously the Albert Magnoli 1989 short “MUSICAL PORTRAIT” is the benchmark • featuring REHEARSAL, SOUNDCHECK, AFTERSHOW and STUDIO material it contains all of the best elements [hopefully longer clips] #PRINCE

this was expanded in2 what is commonly referred 2 as the OMNIBUS documentary • a highlight was the footage longtime collaborator & director Steve Purcell provided focusing heavily on the Nude AND Diamonds and Pearls TOUR • some of this footage is currently screened in Paisley

2 SACRED INDEED • we R on the SAME PAGE as @anildash in thinking footage of Prince RECORDING IN THE STUDIO is probably the most coveted item • P says it doesn’t exist • hopefully HE was only telling us a VERSION of the TRUTH #PRINCE4EVER #NETFLIX #Documentary #EZRA #PRINCE

the little bits that we have seen [Partyman • God is Alive • Beautiful Strange] has all been “staged” 4 the purpose of individual docs & storytelling • that footage is cool but we would rather see the REAL DEAL #PRINCE #PRINCE4EVER #NETFLIX

more Scott McCullough please • soundchecks & rehearsals may b as close as we get 2 the real creative process • the 2nd best thing 2 actual footage from the recording studio • creating & tracking new music #PRINCE #PRINCENETFLIXDOC #PRINCEnetflixDOCUMENTARY #PRINCE4EVER

it is understood that 4 the sake of flow and keeping the audience engaged u probably can’t use 2 many FULL SONGS • we STRONGLY SUGGEST that some sort of companion piece is allowed 2 b PURCHASED featuring the FULL PER4MANCES of songs used in the doc #PRINCEnetflixDOCUMENTARY

soundchecks & rehearsals #PRINCEnetflixDOCUMENTARY #PRINCE4EVER

there is a TON of leftover material from the unreleased “life o’ the party” / Musicology documentary • soundchecks • rehearsals • innerVIEWs • press conferences • aftershows • backstage & behind the scenes moments #NPGMC #PRINCE #PRINCE4EVER #NETFLIX #PRINCENETFLIXDOC
