Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine join Tom Needham on Sounds of Film to discuss their acclaimed documentary PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MAN. The directing team, whose previous works include Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song, The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden, and Ballets Russes, has built a reputation for creating compelling documentaries that illuminate extraordinary lives and cultural moments.
Their latest film chronicles the remarkable journey of Peter Asher, one of popular music’s most influential yet often overlooked figures.
PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MAN explores Asher’s astonishing career as a British Invasion star with Peter & Gordon, a pioneering record producer, artist manager, talent scout, and cultural connector whose life intersected with some of the most important figures in music history. Featuring appearances and insights from Paul McCartney, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Eric Idle, Twiggy, and many others, the documentary reveals how Asher helped shape the careers of legendary artists while remaining a vital creative force himself.
From Swinging London and the Beatles’ inner circle to the rise of the singer-songwriter era in Los Angeles, the film offers a fascinating look at a man who seemed to be at the center of every major musical movement of the last six decades.
