. Participant adds another title to its portfolio of films meant to engage positive social change, as it will be lead financier and executive producer for the project. It is financing the film with River Road Entertainment and Warner Music Group.
The film will be produced by RadicalMedia, as well as Byrne’s Todomundo and Lee’s Forty Acres and a Mule Filmworks production companies. Byrne, Lee and Participant’s Jeff Skoll, David Linde and Diane Weyermann will share executive producer credit; along with Warner Music Group’s David Bither, Charlie Cohen, and Kurt Deutsch; Bill Pohlad of River Road; and RadicalMedia’s Jon Kamen, Dave Sirulnick and Meredith Bennett.
Said Byrne: “Pinch me. This couldn’t have worked out better for this project. Spike Lee directing and Participant producing — two socially engaged teams, well, three if you count us in the band, coming together in what I feel will be something moving, important, and unlike anything anyone has seen before.”is a true celebration from a great artist and a beautiful reminder to our nation that we are all born barefoot and wearing the same suit. We are incredibly excited to work with Mr.
The agreement was negotiated by Jeannine Tang, General Counsel, and Stefanie Holmes, VP of Business & Legal Affairs for Participant, Lawrence Shire and Gil Karson of Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks on behalf of Byrne, Christa Zofcin Workman, COO for River Road, and ICM Partners.

So great! 🙌American utopia was one of the best and most uplifting things I’ve ever seen.
I flew in from Savannah, Ga to see your show. This was my first Broadway show. You guys were awesome. I didn't know Spike Lee would be there. You just can't get much better than that. Thank you so much

Awesome! So this show last month and it’s an incredible performance and statement!

stevesilberman Yeah.. Works.
I’m so happy
I just saw American Utopia last night. I loved every second of it. David Byrne is amazing - and so were all of the other performers. The lighting and choreography was divine. And David Byrne rocked the house. Same as it ever was - he gave us all hope.
I predict a movie as electrifying as Stop Making Sense.
stevesilberman IMHO I cannot think of a more unlikely or glorious partnership than Spike Lee and David Byrne. One of my favorite filmmakers and one of my favorite musicians/artists coming together!
stevesilberman Excellent news! I will buy that film. Saw David Byrne’s show live AND IT WAS AMAZING!
stevesilberman What? Good to see something positive come from today!
