Director Dawn Porter Says She’s a ‘Bit Perplexed’ Why Her Luther Vandross Documentary Hasn’t Sold

Dawn Porter

In 2011, Dawn Porter arrived at Hot Docs Pitch Forum in the hopes of securing funding for her first documentary feature, “Gideon’s Army.” Thirteen years later, Porter is back in Toronto with her 10th feature doc “Luther: Never Too Much,” which opened the 31st edition of Hot Docs.

The 101-minute film about the life and career of the late R&B singer Luther Vandross made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and has since become an audience favorite on the festival circuit. In addition to serving as Hot Docs’ opening night film, the movie will also launch the Hot Doc’s Pop/ Life sidebar of films about music and musicians.

Popular on Variety

The doc, which marks the first-ever estate sanctioned feature-length nonfiction film about the R&B legend, was financed by Sony Music Entertainment, the company that owns Vandross’ music. Jamie Foxx and Colin Firth both served as executive producers.

Below, Variety speaks with Porter ahead of the April 25 Hot Docs premiere of “Luther: Never Too Much.”

During his career, Vandross received eight Grammy Awards — four of which were in 2004, including best R&B album and the coveted song of the year award — along with 33 nominations. He died almost 20 years ago. Why did it take so long to make the first authorized documentary about his life?

Sony Music Entertainment, which owns Vandross’ music, financed the project. Did they take convincing?

Sony was on board right away. The company is obviously a big fan of his, and they knew how much material they had, which was tremendous for us. They had all of his music, which they have the rights to, so we were able to let those songs play out in the film. We didn’t have to use just 10 seconds of a song because we were trying to save budget money. I had never done a music doc before or this type of biographical treatment. So, it was a lot of fun to discover him through his music.

Were you a big Vandross fan before making the film, or did you discover him while working on this project?

Many of my formative years were accompanied by Luther’s music, so it was very important for me to make this film and do Luther right by it. But as much as I’ve always loved his music and personality, I learned so much more about his story through the making of this film. Discovering insights into stories you think you know is one of my favorite parts about documentary filmmaking.

In addition to his music, the docu explores Vandross’ issues around weight, which was a very sensitive topic for him. Why do you think his weight was such a big deal to the press?

Luther’s weight was a topic of conversation incessantly in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I could have done a 20-minute sequence of talk-show people asking him about his weight. It was constant. He didn’t get to talk about the music first. He had to talk about where his weight was. He was on Oprah 14 times. That was a time when she too was very publicly going through her ups and downs with weight, so that’s something that they shared. I think they both related to the fact that they weren’t just struggling with weight, they were struggling with weight in public. And in general with weight gain and not being able to lose it, there is a lot of shame around it. This feeling of, “Why can’t I master this?” It’s a conversation we are having today. Two weeks ago, Oprah says she uses weight loss drugs and it prompts an ABC news special.

The media was also fixated on Vandross’ sexuality. You interviewed various people who were close to Vandross including Valerie Simpson, bass player Marcus Miller and songwriting collaborator Richard Marx, who basically say it was none of anyone’s business who he liked or loved. Was his sexuality a hard topic to cover, since Vandross didn’t want anyone to speculate about whether he was homosexual or not?

Another touchy subject that the film tackles is a fatal car accident that Vandross was responsible for. Why did you want to include that in the film?

The car crash was something I had never heard about, so that was news to me. I really wanted to make the point that he had some really terrible things happen in his life and I think it was an important subject to raise.

Sony funded this film, but you decided to make it without a distributor attached. As mentioned, music docs are all the rage right now. Why not find a distributor before taking the doc to Sundance?

The thought was celebrities, great music, make a good movie and try to sell it out of a festival. It seemed like a good idea.

I have been to several film festivals where the film has screened including Sundance, Full Frame and Sarasota, and audiences love it. The music and the celebrity factor make it a very commercial film. Why do you think the film has yet to find a distributor?

It’s been very surprising to me. I’m sure that it is going to find the right home and we are in some advanced conversations, but yeah, I’m a bit perplexed why the film hasn’t sold yet.

Harris at the White House Correspondents Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington DC on 27 April 2024.

Kamala Harris visits Atlanta to tout investments in minority communities

The vice-president returned to the city, pressing the case to Black voters that the Biden administration has been there for them

Kamala Harris once again visited Atlanta to tout investments made by the Biden administration in minority and underserved communities, highlighting $158m in infrastructure spending on a project to build a cap over Atlanta’s most traveled highway, the Downtown Connector.

The vice-president’s appearance is the continuation of a full court press in Georgia to solidify support among Democrats – and specifically Black Democrats – for the administration.

Harris has visited Atlanta repeatedly since winning office, acting as one of the administration’s primary surrogates to the Black community, keenly aware that Georgia remains in play and that perceptions of flagging support among African American voters could be the difference between a win and a loss.

Harris kicked off a nationwide tour discussing economic opportunities for minority voters with this visit, she said.

The Atlanta project, which local planners call the Stitch, would build parkland and mixed-use buildings including affordable housing and is meant to address the intentional destruction of Black communities by highway construction in the 60s, Harris said.

“There was this whole policy push called urban renewal,” Harris said. “It was supposed to be about making life easier for people … but essentially it was about making it easier for folks who had wealth and means to move to the suburbs and still have access to downtown. It ended up decimating these communities for years.” Harris said the Stitch project would create an estimated 13,000 jobs and help reconnect a community bifurcated by the highway.

Harris spoke on Monday at the Georgia International convention center near Atlanta’s airport in a conversation moderated by Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, hosts of the financial podcast Earn Your Leisure. She emphasized the work the Biden administration has been doing to expand access to capital for communities of color.

Black entrepreneurs do not have access to the capital needed to launch capital-intensive companies, Bilal said. “Especially when we look at the next generation of unicorn companies – billion-dollar companies – they’re tech companies,” Bilal said.

That access is often about relationships that Black business owners often do not have. But federal spending can provide a base from which a business can grow and ultimately build those relationships, Harris said. Home ownership is also critical for building intergenerational wealth and entrepreneurial opportunities, as a source of equity for startups.

“To achieve true equality, we must have an economic agenda,” Harris said. “That agenda must mean speaking to people’s economic ambitions.”

Harris’s message sharply contrasts with increasing rhetoric from Republicans decrying diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “In spite of those who want to attack DEI, you can’t truly invest in the strength of our nation if you don’t pay attention to diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Among other programs and spending made by the federal government since 2021, Harris presented the Stitch as an example of what the Biden administration has accomplished.

After federal courts struck down zoning laws that segregated housing, federal legislators responded with the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. Massive highway projects like Atlanta’s Downtown Connector were deliberately driven through Black neighborhoods in the name of “urban renewal”. In Atlanta’s case, the connector – which brings I-75 and I-85 together – displaced residents and businesses around Auburn Avenue, which was the heart of Atlanta’s Black middle class.

after newsletter promotion

Martin Luther King Jr grew up a five-minute walk from where the connector splits the city today, a massive highway with more than 300,000 cars passing through every day. Similarly, the construction of I-20 decimated the Summerhill neighborhood, once home to many of Atlanta’s Black doctors. Summerhill has only recently recovered its economic vibrancy. But even as much of the rest of Atlanta experiences gentrification, the area around Auburn Avenue is poor.

The representative Nikema Williams and the senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff addressed attendees briefly before the main event, each extolling the virtues of infrastructure investments in Georgia from the infrastructure bill. The Stitch received outsized attention by all three in their remarks.

Williams is in her sophomore term as a congresswoman representing much of Atlanta, and sits on the House transportation committee. She and Warnock worked closely together to draw funding on the Stitch project, which eight years ago was little more than a twinkle in the eye of AJ Robinson, president of Central Atlanta Progress, a non-profit civic group for downtown businesses which is leading the design process on the Stitch.

“We are truly a model for the world,” Williams said, describing the investments by the Biden administration in the Black community as “unprecedented”.

Warnock has a particularly high political stake in the Stitch. The cap stands to transform the area around Auburn Avenue, famed home of Martin Luther King Jr and Ebenezer Baptist church, where Warnock is now senior pastor. The church is two blocks east of the Connector, which decimated the once-vibrant street after its construction about 60 years ago.

“Let’s be very clear, today is a day of celebration,” Warnock said. “Because at last, we start repairing and revitalizing and reconnecting neighborhoods in the heart of the Black neighborhoods that have been historically torn apart by highway construction … This happens in every community in America.”
