NEIL YOUNG DOCUMENTARY – COASTAL  trailer

Daryl Hannah’s feature-length cinéma vérité documentary Coastal will be presented in movie theaters
worldwide on April 17th for a special one-night only event. The film follows Neil Young, on his solo “Coastal” tour of
the West Coast.Tickets for Neil Young: Coastal are on sale now. Visit www.CoastalTheMovie.com for ticketing and the most
up-to-date information about participating theaters.

The film had its world premiere screening out of the Woodstock Film Festival in October 2024 and its West Coast
premiere in February at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Coastal takes you on an intimate journey with maverick musician Neil Young. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker and
Young’s wife, Daryl Hannah, Coastal offers a behind the curtain glimpse of this unguarded iconoclast, as he
navigates a return to the stage post-Covid. Join Neil Young in his private refuge, his silver eagle tour bus, where his
impromptu observations on the bus naturally evolve into his candid, wry banter with his audience. The illuminating
film also features songs rarely, if ever played live, performed in breathtakingly beautiful theaters.
Coastal finds moving, human moments in the most prosaic details of life on the road. An insight into the
coexistence of loneliness and humor of a solo tour. The amalgamation of the up-close concert footage and behind
the scenes footage create a deeply personal experience.

The documentary is produced by Gary Ward, edited by Rachel Simmer, with cinematography by Adam CK
Vollick and Daryl Hannah.
“With Coastal I wanted to highlight Neil’s authenticity, openness and vulnerability as a person, musician and
performer,” Director Daryl Hannah said in a statement. “He is as pure and honest as they come. Deeply devoted to
his musical muse, which at times presented a challenge in capturing the songs, as we never knew what he might
play or what instruments he’d pick up next. But what we were able to capture has an unpretentious magic that
reveals the truth, sentiment and emotions in these hidden gems as well as a close up look at a performer who
plays from the heart with a total lack of pretense.”
Hannah’s feature film directorial work includes the poetic film Paradox, as well as
documentaries Mountaintop, which takes an unfiltered look at Neil Young’s process with Crazy Horse making their
first album in seven years, and the Grammy Nominated film – Barn which follows the band recording their
homonymous album Barn in their element, in a restored 19th century log barn standing in the wilderness, under
the full moon.
