Kenny Loggins – multi-platinum, Grammy, Emmy-winning Songwriter/Recording Artist – was a shy, gawky, unpopular, big-eared kid with low self-esteem. He thought he had to create a persona to do the rock star thing. Kenny spent the subsequent 50 years reinventing himself. His career has been a journey into being himself.
“The Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival has booked a world premiere for Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the Heart, directed by Tony-winning Broadway producer Dori Berinstein.”
“I’ve been approached over the years by different wannabe filmmakers,” Loggins said. “But after I spoke with Dori, I realized that if she can make this happen, it’s going to be fun. It’s going to be great. So I stuck with it.”
“The 94-minute film, directed by Dori Berinstein, follows Loggins’ winding career while unfolding in real time as he prepares for his purported final performance, charting his path from pop duo Loggins and Messina to Hollywood’s go-to voice for soundtracks, including “Top Gun.“
“While much changed about the documentary, one constant was its focus on Loggins’s family life. Loggins is at his most honest when reflecting on his son Lou’s gender transition and his own experience in coming to understand and accept his son’s journey.”
“interviews with peers such as David Foster, Kevin Bacon, Michael McDonald and Richard Marx, Berinstein’s film is a warm and exhaustive-in-the-best-way study of an artist looking back as he simultaneously looks forward.“
