Just the Two of Us. Ain’t No Sunshine. Lean on Me. The man who wrote the songs that defined a decade walked away from showbiz without a look back. For 23 years, Bill Withers shunned the spotlight and refused all interviews — until filmmakers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack convinced him to tell his story. Still Bill gives us an inside look at Bill Wither’s life and personality, tells why he stopped performing at the peak of his career and who he is today. An amazing portrait of a singer who never gave up his soul. The evening concludes with a live concert of

Wither’s classics by Motown legend Johnny Ingram!

Damani Baker was selected by Filmmaker Magazine as one of “25 new faces in independent film.” He directs documentaries, music videos, and advertisements. His documentaries include “Grenada: A Dream Deferred” and “Return,” an award-winning film about the genius of traditional African medicine.

Alex Vlack co-founded Late Night and Weekends with director Andrew Zuckerman. His credits include campaigns and content for Puma, BMW and Wired; films for New York Times television and NOVA; and a short film, “High Falls,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won Best Narrative Short at the Woodstock Film Festival.
