The World According to Allee Willis
The World According to Allee Willis
Take one look at award-winning songwriter / artist Allee Willis and you see someone unafraid to be themselves. Dressed in a cacophony of prints and colors, her signature asymmetrical haircut and famed parties at her real-life Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Allee didn't waste any opportunity to tell you what she was about. But privately, Allee struggled with not fitting established gender and sexual norms. She buried herself in her work, until true love manifested her ultimate masterpiece -- self-acceptance. Allee began filming her life in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. This film is the realization of her wish that her "final art piece be someone putting together the trail I have left behind."
