The first
woman in music history to produce five Number One singles off of one album, Katy
Perry has scaled the heights of pop music stardom few have reached
before her. So when the artist invited
two young filmmakers to tag along (and “catch everything on film—nothing
off-limits”) as she circled the globe on her record-breaking “California Dreams
Tour,” she thought it might produce something of interest to her legions of
fans. But it proved to be bigger than
anyone could have predicted…
The result is the 3D movie music
event of the summer—Katy Perry: Part of
Me—a backstage pass, front row seat and intimate look at the fun,
glamorous, heartbreaking, inspiring, crazy, magical, passionate and honest mad
diary of Katy herself.
This is an intimate,
fly-on-the-wall portrait of a natural born performer hitting the very peak of
global popularity—the unflinching and ever-present cameras reveal the highs and
the lows of Perry’s extraordinary trek, both personally and
professionally.
The genesis of the project lies
with the artist herself: “I could instinctively feel that something
important was about to happen that year—it felt like this big wave was coming,
and it felt like it was going to be a long one.
So, I reached out to two filmmakers and said, ‘Hi, guys, I’d like to you
come on the road and document the ride.’”
That ride was a yearlong world
tour – selling out 124 arena shows – across the United States, Europe, South
America and the Far East, and cameras were able to not only capture the
palpable excitement and fun of her live concerts, but also to follow Perry back
to the ‘reality’ of her day-to-day life, away from the stage lights and
candy-colored costumes. Frank interviews
with those who perhaps know the real Katy best—her family and her assembled
family of “Team Perry”—offer glimpses into Perry’s background, as well as
create a picture of a woman giving her all onstage…while pressing personal
challenges await offstage.
Per Katy: “This movie is a journey. Last
year, I had a year I’ll never be able to re-create…amazing highs and some big
lows, but that’s life. Everyone goes through the good and the bad, but it
makes you stronger. But no matter what, as with my live concerts,
my ultimate goal with this movie is to make people smile.”
“Katy
Perry : Part of Me” is released
and distributed by United International Pictures
