Title: ‘Stans’ Director & Eminem’s Manager Break Down How the ‘Unconventional’ Documentary Was Made
In a recent interview, the director of the new documentary “Stans” and Eminem’s manager broke down how the unconventional film was made. The duo revealed that they had to dig deep into archives to find rare footage, including the original reels from the music video for Eminem’s hit single “Stan”.
The team spent years searching for these lost tapes, but it was all worth it when they found them. According to Rosenberg, “It was very surprising for me, ’cause I didn’t know those reels existed.” This discovery opened up new possibilities for the documentary and allowed the filmmakers to create a truly unique experience.
One of the most striking aspects of the documentary is its ability to showcase the deep emotional connection that Eminem’s fans have with his music. Rosenberg noted, “I don’t know that there’s anything he learned that he didn’t know, generally, but I think that what was most striking for him and for myself was just how deep and emotionally connected people are through his music… They’re all telling different stories in different ways that the music impacted them.”
The documentary also delves into Eminem’s personal life, including his experience as a young parent. The director revealed that he found it surprising to see the human side of Eminem, stating, “When he became famous I was in my late teens, a college student; I don’t know if I knew what he went through as a young parent.”
The film is a testament to the enduring power of Eminem’s music and his ability to connect with fans on a deep level.
