Finding Lucinda Premieres Today on Digital and DVD
San Francisco, CA, September 9, 2025 – Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the music documentary feature FINDING LUCINDA, which is now available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting September 9, 2025.
FINDING LUCINDA is a mesmerizing exploration of artistry, self-discovery, and the power of music. In search of an artistic path, aspiring singer/songwriter ISMAY (Avery Hellman) embarks on a road trip across the southern United States, collecting the stories of poetic influence that forged the journey to stardom of legendary, 3-time GRAMMY winner, Lucinda Williams. The film highlights the discovery of never-before-heard recordings from Lucinda's early years and showcases interviews with Charlie Sexton, Buddy Miller, Mary Gauthier, Max and Josh Baca, John Grimaudo, Wolf Stephenson, Ray Kennedy, and ultimately Lucinda Williams herself. Weaving conversations with archival footage, the film offers a unique visual perspective on the profound impact Williams has on music and how her voice continues to resonate today.
Rolling Stone praised the project for offering “an intimate meditation on the balance between art and existence,” while Americana Highways called the film “an inspiring, emotionally rich portrait that captures the essence of artistic purpose and perseverance.”
