- John Wilson has been filming Harry Styles' 30-night Madison Square Garden residency for a forthcoming documentary, per Variety — his first artist documentary.
- Styles' MSG run, which kicked off in August and concludes at the end of this month, is the longest single-engagement residency the venue has ever hosted.
- Wilson is directing and producing alongside Universal Pictures Content Group, Peanut World Pictures, and Styles, with the film still in production.
- The residency supports Styles' album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, released in March, which he has been promoting at the BRIT Awards and on Saturday Night Live.
- Wilson previously directed the music video for Bon Iver's 'Everything Is Peaceful Love' from SABLE, fABLE, his prior music work before the Styles project.
Why it matters: Wilson, known for his observational, character-driven HBO series, applying his lens to a pop superstar's record-setting residency gives the project a built-in audience from both the music and prestige-TV worlds. The partnership — involving Styles himself as a producer alongside Universal — signals the documentary will have significant distribution support behind it.
