The 1983 “Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party” documentary is coming to Paramount+ on March 11. The doc had a limited theatrical release last October. Director Cameron Crowe shares that at the time Petty himself urged him to "pick up the camera" and capture a raw, direct performance. Adria Petty, Tom’s daughter, helped restore the film from unlabeled reels and noted its uniqueness, saying, “For Tom to give more than an hour-long interview… that never happened again.” The doc originally aired on MTV in February 1983 without much hype at the time. “Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers leaned into the making of the film with a kind of hilarious music-filled honesty that still feels fresh forty years later,” Crowe shares in a statement.
Check out the trailer for the doc below.
