Beyoncé's directing a documentary about herself

  • November 27, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Modest singer of songs Beyoncé will direct and star in a doc­u­ment­ary all about Beyoncé, it's been announced.

The film will premiere on HBO on February 16 and will combine personal behind-the-scenes stuff shot by Beyoncé herself as well as some onstage footage of her having a bit of a dance.

The as yet untitled doc­u­ment­ary "sheds light on her childhood in Houston, with home movies revealing the close bond she built with her family and charts the chal­lenges Beyoncé felt when she decided to manage her career and build her own company, Parkwood Entertainment," HBO said in a statement.

Beyoncé meanwhile is just happy to have found a suitable home for her vision.

"HBO has a history of pushing every boundary with class and authen­ti­city. Some of my favorite shows are on HBO, so I am excited that my film will be part of its bold pro­gram­ming. This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home," she mused.
