‘The World According to Allee Willis’ Hits Hulu on April 5th!
It has been announced that the new film ‘The World According to Allee Willis’ will see its release via Hulu on April 5th.
Take one look at award-winning songwriter/artist Allee Willis and you see someone unafraid to be themselves. Dressed in a cacophony of prints and colours, her signature asymmetrical haircut and famed parties at her real-life Pee-wee’s Playhouse, Allee didn’t waste any opportunity to tell you what she was about. But privately, Allee struggled with not fitting established gender and sexual norms.
She buried herself in her work until true love manifested her ultimate masterpiece – self-acceptance.

Allee began filming her life in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. The World According to Allee Willis is the realization of her wish that her “final art piece be someone putting together the trail I have left behind.”
The new documentary was directed by Alexis Manya Spraic and produced by both Spraic and Nicholas Coles. Some of the names you’ll encounter inside include: Mark Cuban, Cyndi Lauper, Lily Tomlin, Paul Reubens, Michael Patrick King, Patti LaBelle, Pet Shop Boys, Pamela Adlon, Paul Feig, and Mark Mothersbaugh.
