From the director of The Wrecking Crew comes the story of the rise and collaborations of a group of legendary studio musicians through the 1970s and onward, chronicling their illustrious partnerships and their formidable record of hit-making.

While director Denny Tedesco's earlier doc followed the first wave of studio musicians in the 1960s, this film reveals the machinery behind the booming era of the singer-songwriter, when the talents of these four musicians were in furious demand.

The foundations of their enduring friendship, formed on the road and in studios, is recalled with dynamite clarity—reminisced with fondness through intimate interviews with the musicians themselves, as well as the memories of some of rock’s most iconic voices. Immediate Family is a backstage tour spanning multiple eras of musical history.

Join director Danny Tedesco for a Q&A (via Zoom) after the December 18 screening.
