David Byrne announces Brady Corbet-directed concert film

The film was captured over multiple nights at the Hippodrome in Byrne’s hometown of Baltimore, preserving a snippet of the tour that he has played at over 150 shows across four continents in support of his 2025 album, Who Is The Sky?.

The film sees Byrne team up with Corbett, known for his work on The Brutalist, to capture the footage on 70mm film. It’s produced by The Deep End Films and Pre-Code, Corbet’s company along with Mona Fastvold, and is presented by River Road Entertainment.

“When Brady told me he wanted to shoot our show in 70 millimeter (70 millimeter!) I didn't realize what a difference it would make until I saw some frames he sent me,” Byrne says. “He was right, it really does capture the wide screen visual scope of the show. I've never seen anything like it.”

“I am so grateful to David Byrne and his entire team for entrusting us to capture his hometown show on 8-perf and 15-perf 70mm,” Corbet adds. “The band’s performance is an inclusive celebration of community, and of Baltimore in particular—one of America’s most underappreciated historic cities.”

“We are thrilled to help bring David Byrne’s incredible, joyous tour to the screen in a way that can be shared for all time,” says The Deep End’s Jason Fine and Amit Dey. “This film will capture one of our greatest artists at the peak of his craft, in a moment that brings people together when we need it most, and that will elevate the concert film experience to a new level.”
