More about Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is produced under the banners of Gotham Group, Night Exterior, and Bluegrass 7. It is edited by Pamela Martin, while Jeremiah Fraites has composed the music.

In an interview with THR, Jeremy Allen White spoke about boundaries while trying to portray Springsteen in the film. He said,

“I can look at his performances, and I can watch interviews, but these are public versions. They’re performative in some sense. No matter how honest you are when you’re talking to the press, that’s not how you’re going to talk to your mother.”

He added,

“I was running into the same thing where I was like, ‘Does this sound or look like him?’ Because I had all this footage I could go off of, but you don’t know what this man looks like alone in a house. There’s more freedom, but then you’re questioning that freedom. It’s exactly what you said. At a certain point, you let go and hope that whatever feeling you’re getting close to at least held hands with Bruce’s feeling.”
