Daring, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BECOME PUNK
Musician, acting professional, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the frontwoman of Blondie, a music group that forged a fresh sound that brought together the worlds of rock and roll, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop to make a few of the most dearest pop songs of all time. Being a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of days gone by four years. The range of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched just by her reticence to reveal her wealthy inner life-until now.
Within an arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals, Face It upends the standard music memoir while delivering a really prismatic portrait. With all the grit, grime, and glory recounted in close detail, Face It re-creates the downtown scene of 1970s NEW YORK, where Blondie played alongside the Ramones, Tv, Talking Minds, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Visually amazing, and including never-before-seen photos, bespoke illustrations and fan art installations, Encounter It brings Debbie Harry’s world and artistic sensibilities to life.
Pursuing her path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-death of partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie’s breakup like a band to her multifaceted acting career in a lot more than thirty films, a stunning single career and the triumphant come back of her group, and her tireless advocacy for the environment and LGBTQ privileges, Face It really is a cinematic story of a woman who produced her own path, and established the standard for any generation of artists who implemented in her footsteps-a memoir as dynamic as its subject matter.
“I had been saying items in tracks that female singers didn’t really say back then. I wasn’t submissive or begging him another, I used to be kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass as well. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing it up yet I was extremely serious.”-From Face It
