BORN INTO THE GIG
Additional Editor
Directed by Kate Davis & David Heilbroner
Born Into The Gig is a music-driven documentary that follows five singer-songwriters who hope to carve their own musical identity in the shadow of their parents’ iconic greatness. For these ‘children of,’ a career path in music may seem perfectly obvious. But the reality of making it on their own merits in ‘the family business,’ takes each character on a journey fraught with unexpected turns, emotional pain and surprising highs. Chris Stills — son of Stephen Stills and French star, Veronique Sanson / Skip Marley — grandson of Bob Marley /Kori Withers — daughter of the hit-maker Bill Withers / Ben & Sally Taylor – children of James Taylor and Carly Simon. While showcasing a new range of talent, Born Into The Gig also goes behind the scenes to hear from the parents themselves, and ultimately explores what it means to find one’s own voice.
