How did Andrew Renzi get two Canadians in the music biz involved in a doc about deported American servicemen?
Drake attending the UK premiere of Top Boy at the Hackney Picturehouse on Sept. 4, 2019 in London, England.directed by Andrew Renzi and executive produced by Drake and co-manager Adel Nur , premiered recently at the Toronto International Film Festival , and the subject might infuriate some people.
“They don’t even think about that either because they think after they join the military that they’re getting their citizenship automatically,” director Andrew Renzi tells Billboard. “A lot of them are confused about the bureaucracy of it all. So they’re just as confused as we are, even up until the day that they’re supposed to parole. They go through their prison sentences with the understanding that they’re going home, and then they just get picked up by ICE and get deported.
“I was friendly with some people on his team, his manager, Future, and Anthony Gonzalez. Very coincidentally I sent a teaser that I'd been cutting really early on [of the film] to my editor to say, ‘Get ready, we're going to be making this movie together,’ and he was sitting with Drake's manager. Drake’s manager was like, ‘This is the kind of stuff we're interested in,’ then once it got up to him, I guess it activated,” Renzi explains.
“Obviously, you'd have to ask him about the specific politics and what really made him interested, but I just know that on a creative level, that's a guy that really understands the creative process and understands how to support and fight for what you believe in as an artist. The big value is having someone that I knew would support me and offer feedback in ways I'm not thinking about because he's entrenched in this idea of how to release something to the world.
