With the filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine
Peter Asher’s extraordinary life has intersected with some of the greatest artists and musical moments of the last six decades. A child actor who became a pop star and then a manager and producer to the likes of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, he is a Zelig-like figure who remains a vital creative force to this day. Featuring interviews with Paul McCartney, Carole King, and many more.
“If you’re a devotee of Swinging London of the ’60s or the Sunset Strip folk rock scene of the ’70s, Asher is already an icon. But even if you’re not, his integrality to countless pop culture narratives beggars belief, because he has, indeed, lived many lives both in the spotlight and immediately adjacent. The pleasure of Everywhere Man is that every time you think you’ve seen the wildest piece of Peter Asher adjacency, the next chapter proves you wrong.” — The Hollywood Reporter
“A nostalgic ride of what it once meant to be a real rockstar… Filmmakers Dayne Goldfine and Daniel Geller were not afraid to bedazzle their new documentary, Peter Asher: Everywhere Man, with as much talent as possible.” — RogerEbert.com
