TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS: 400 DAYS

In early 2020, a collection of 16mm film from 1993-95 was discovered in the archive of legendary artist, Tom Petty. The film was shot while Tom was on a prolific songwriting streak for years making what he intended to be a double album called Wildflowers.

Tom Petty was known for being protective about his personal life and his creative process. This film lifts the curtain on an intensely private musician and immerses itself in the candid and musically rich world of Tom’s creativity as he makes his first album with legendary producer Rick Rubin.

Collaborators provide unrivalled access and the film features never before seen footage captured during the making of Wildflowers - Tom’s personal favourite album.


Tom Petty, Somewhere You Feel Free, a small slice of rock history that becomes a loving and lovely portrait, has the ability to change the way you hear and see him too.: The Wrap
