IndieWire magazine just voted director JEFF FEUERZEIG’s Sundance winning doc The Devil and Daniel Johnston the best music documentary of the 21st Century.
Feuerzeig has made a name for himself bringing human stories to life in evocative detail.
From his film The Real Rocky for ESPN 30 For 30, to his 2017 Amazon film Author: The JT LeRoy Story, to his recent work on the Cinemax music series Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus, documentary story building is the expression of his genius.
There is no director out there better suited to take viewers on a wild animated adventure into a musician’s most embarrassing gig.
"Backstories" spotlights behind-the-scenes stories about HBO’s greatest shows and characters. Each animated short stars HBO talent sharing their inspiration and more.
Each film was brought to life by Jeff Feuerzeig and three uniquely creative animation teams.

PRAISE FOR No Encore!: "A relatively jovial, upbeat book that I raced through. The embarrassment is palatable, but perseverance is the most touching part of these stories. These awful things that happened don't interrupt the dream. The dream of performing and stardom. The dream of connecting with an audience. No Encore! is a glimpse into the analog past; a trip to a distant world when artists made albums and suites of songs you listened to in order." — Bret Easton Ellis
