Focused on the most recent edition of the Above & Beyond Acoustic Tour in 2016, the trio of Jono, Paavo, and Tony joined forces with two award-winning directors Paul Dugdale and Myles Desenberg to tell their story.

Directing the live concert at Hollywood Bowl, Paul Dugdale of Scheme Engine has garnered numerous Grammy nominations throughout his career. In the past, he has worked with some of the world’s biggest acts like The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, and Adele, and now he will show off some of Above & Beyond’s greatest work.

On the behind the scenes side of the documentary, director Myles Desenberg took the reigns. Myles has been filming Above & Beyond’s live performances and UK shows since 2010, and this film will be his debut feature.

Telling the story of Above & Beyond’s decision to leave the electronic world and bring forth an acoustic show of epic proportions, this documentary will be a must-watch for any Anjuna fan or music lover.

The Above & Beyond Acoustic II Tour stopped at legendary venues around the world from Royal Albert Hall in London to Down Under at the Sydney Opera House. They also touched down stateside at iconic spaces like the Beacon Theater in New York and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, which is where the performance portion of the documentary is centered.

“The acoustic project was a huge undertaking for us but the end result was massively rewarding. We look forward to collaborating with Abramorama on the release of the film and sharing our acoustic experience with fans around the world.”
