THE PROMISE: THE MAKING OF DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
Directed by Grammy- and Emmy Award-winning filmmake Thom Zimny, this critically-acclaimed documentary chronicled the making of Springsteen's 1978 classic album. Also an official selection at The Toronto International Film Festival, The BFI London Film Festival, and The International Rome Film Festival, the film includes home rehearsals and studio sessions with new interviews from Springsteen, E Street Band members, manager Jon Landau, former-manager Mike Appel, and others closely involved in the making of the record. This documentary aired on HBO and was subsequently included in the six-disc box set The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story.
