Art History Doc 'The World According to Allee Willis' Official Trailer

"She always wanted people to know their own brilliance and creativity." Magnolia Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film called The World According to Allee Willis, a life-affirming and deeply inspiring look at an amazing artist named Allee Willis. Willis passed away in 2019 at the age of 72, but left behind tons of archival footage and recordings, which have been put together to make this doc film about her. Songwriter / artist Allee Willis began filming her life as a kid in 1950s Detroit & never stopped. She pursued creative expression at all costs while struggling to fit established gender and sexual norms - until she found a path to love through self-acceptance. Willis co-wrote hit songs including "September" & "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" by Pet Shop Boys. She also won two Grammy Awards for Beverly Hills Cop and The Color Purple.
