\"Sly<\/p>\n

Ahmir<\/strong> \u201cQuestlove<\/strong>\u201d Thompson<\/strong> tore the roof off this year\u2019s virtual Sundance Film Festival with Summer of Soul,<\/em> his rollicking documentary about the incredible music on display during the nearly-forgotten Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969. That film won the Audience Award and the\u00a0U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the festival earlier this month, and now Thompson has announced he\u2019s returning behind the camera to make a feature documentary about Sly Stone<\/strong>, founding member of the influential band Sly and the Family Stone and one of the musicians who app<\/a>eared on stage in the archival footage in Summer of Soul<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Four-time Grammy winner Ahmir \u201cQuestlove\u201d Thompson has found his next directing gig in the form of an Untitled Sly Stone project. According to a press release, \u201cthe untitled documentary\u00a0follows the story of the influential artist, king of funk, and fashion icon Sly Stone, a musician who was breaking all the rules at a time when doing so was extremely challenging, even dangerous. The pressure of explosive mainstream pop success and the responsibility of representing Black America forced him to walk the fine line of impossible expectations.\u201d
\nQuestlove is working with MRC Non-Fiction, a new branch of Media<\/a> Rights Capital that is specifically financing, developing, and producing feature documentaries and docuseries<\/a>, to bring this movie to life. MRC Non-Fiction\u2019s first film also has a Sundance connection \u2013 their debut project is Edgar Wright\u2019s The Sparks Brothers<\/em>, Wright\u2019s first feature documentary that also earned rave reviews at this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes beyond saying that Sly\u2019s creative legacy is in my DNA,\u201d Questlove said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a Black musician\u2019s blueprint\u2026.to be given the honor to explore his history and legacy is beyond a dream for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSly\u2019s influence on popular music and culture as a whole is immeasurable, and what his career represents is a parable that transcends time and place,\u201d said Amit Dey<\/strong>, Head of MRC Non-Fiction. \u201cQuestlove\u2019s vision, sensitivity and reverence brings the urgency that Sly\u2019s story and music deserve, and we\u2019re excited to be working with him to bring Sly\u2019s story to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sly and the Family Stone gave what felt like one of the central performances on stage during Summer of Soul<\/em>, so it\u2019s clear Questlove has a respect and passion for the man and the music he helped to create. Summer of Soul<\/em> was picked up by Searchlight Pictures and will be available in theaters and on Hulu at some point this year.<\/p>\n
