Tremolo Productions

Over 15 years, Tremolo Productions has established itself as one of the top documentary companies in the U.S., receiving the 2013 Academy Award for Best Documentary for "20 Feet From Stardom" as well as numerous other awards. Tremolo Productions was founded by Morgan Neville, an award-winning documentary filmmaker who specializes in cultural subjects. Through a series of films on important musical topics (including The Brill Building, Sun Records, Nat King Cole, Brian Wilson, Leiber & Stoller, James Brown and Burt Bacharach), Neville has documented the stories of songwriters and producers who helped shape 20th century music. Neville has been nominated for three Grammys for his musical films: Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story, Muddy Waters Can’t Be Satisfied, and Johnny Cash’s America, and won an Emmy for Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues. His 2011 film Troubadours (about Carole King and James Taylor) premiered at The Sundance Film Festival. Pearl Jam Twenty, produced by Neville and directed by Cameron Crowe, was released theatrically in 2011. Recent films include the HBO documentary, Crossfire Hurricane chronicling the rise of The Rolling Stones, and 20 Feet from Stardom, the Oscar winning film and the top grossing documentary of 2013.
