THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ALLEE WILLIS

---

Songwriter / artist Allee Willis, best known for writing the "Friends" theme song, the Earth Wind & Fire mega-hit "September" and "The Color Purple" musical, began filming her life as a kid in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. She pursued creative expression at all costs while struggling with not fitting established gender and sexual norms… until she found a path to love. 

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ALLEE WILLIS is both a love letter to the late artist from the famous folks who loved her — Cyndi Lauper, Alice Walker, the Pet Shop Boys, Lily Tomlin, Luenell, DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh, and Willis’ longtime partner Prudence Fenton. it’s also an invitation to the coolest pool parties of the 80s where you could rub elbows with the likes of Elvira, Patti LaBelle, Paul Reubens, Joni Mitchell, and Debbie Harry at Willis' astonishing Los Angeles home.
