The film director said: “He was both ready and able to discuss the things he was going through without any filters and without any shame or respect for how it was received.
“For so many people who bottle things up or don’t have the language to discuss something… to be able to see someone who is willing to do that and can make incredible music with that, I love. Looks like it was something really special.”
Though he never got the chance to meet Juice Wright, he said he got to know the lovable, goofy, man who was worried about losing himself to superstardom through hundreds of hours of unseen footage.
