Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film) streams Mar 25th
Multiple GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo has announced on social media that her new upcoming original film, Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film) will debut exclusively on Disney+ on March 25th.
For the first time, Rodrigo takes audiences on a familiar road trip from Salt Lake City, where she began writing her 3x platinum Geffen Records debut album Sour to Los Angeles. Along the way, Rodrigo recounts the memories of writing and creating her record-breaking debut album and shares her feelings as a young woman navigating a specific time in her life. Through new live arrangements of her songs, intimate interviews and never-before-seen footage from the making of the album, audiences will follow her along on a cinematic journey exploring the story of Sour.
The film features 11 songs from Sour performed with new arrangements in unique locations, including Mojave Airplane Boneyard, Roy’s Motel & Café, Arcosanti and the Red Rock Canyon State Park. It also includes special guest performances and appearances by GRAMMY-nominated artist Jacob Collier, Blu DeTiger and Towa Bird. The film explores how Sour came to be through Rodrigo’s personal stories and behind-the-scenes footage featuring intimate moments showcasing her artistry in and out of the studio.
“This is a unique film experience where for the first-time fans will understand how her album came to be and why it was such a personal journey for Olivia,” states Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “This is not a concert film per say, but really, an opportunity to experience first-hand how Olivia Rodrigo became one of the biggest music stars of the day – and a chance to see her perform the songs from SOUR like never before.”
“‘driving home 2 u’ is such a unique and fresh approach to a music film, and that’s just what we’ve come to expect from Olivia,” adds John Janick, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M and Interscope Films. “It’s an authentic look into her creative process, her incredible drive and who she is as an artist and person. We’re so proud to have co-produced this film with Supper Club and are thrilled that it has found a home on Disney +.”
