Rarely, if ever, have I watched the trailer for a film and been so thoroughly intrigued, impressed and inspired. If you manage to get through the two minutes and eleven seconds of spliced footage from the forthcoming Bill Withers movie Still Bill without reevaluating your life then, well, do you. The rest of us will be taken by the elusive songwriter who quotes Throreau and said "no thanks" to studio offers of a cookie-cutter R&B contract, preferring to stick with making toilets. He also ended up penning the classics "Lean on Me," "Ain't No Sunshine," and "Lovely Day." This isn't a new project and it's been screening at selective festivals for a few months but it deserves more promotion. Hopefully it gets wider distribution soon. [H/T: YYY/NWS]
