Whitney Houston Documentary Coming Summer 2018
A new documentary with rare footage on the late icon Whitney Houston is due to air soon.
The US superstar brought us some of the greatest songs of our lives, selling over 200 million albums worldwide. She remains the only artist in history to ever chart at Number One seven times consecutively in the US.
Plucked from her gospel-singing roots by her also legendary entertainment manager and music mogul, Clive Davies, she inspired a generation of singers from Mariah Carey through to Beyoncé.
But her incredible success was plagued with self-destruction, which sadly took her from the world too soon. With damaging stories filling the tabloids and magazines, the star’s life was torn apart by her demons offstage.
Directed by the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald (‘Marley’, ‘Touching The Void‘) and from the two-time Academy Award-winning producer Simon Chinn (‘Man On Wire, ‘Searching for Sugar Man’), the documentary is set to give audiences a rare look into Houston’s life.
Made with full access to her family and collaborators, the movie will showcase exclusive audio and never-before-seen video archives from her time as a recording artist and performer.
By casting her story and her work in a new and revealing light, “Whitney Houston” will reassess the life and legacy of one of the world’s biggest music stars.
The movie is set to be released in the US, UK andIreland on July 6.

Full-Figured Flings Teaser Nears 10K Views – Director of Photography Offers Special Father’s Day Release
Back 2 the Basics Production Management Group is proud to announce the official teaser premiere for FFF: Full-Figured Flings, a bold and unapologetic new film celebrating full-figured women and challenging the norms of beauty in Hollywood. Clocking in at just 46 seconds, the teaser doesn’t waste a moment, delivering a powerful visual and emotional punch that sets the tone for a project rooted in body positivity, size inclusivity, and cultural truth.
Premiering ahead of the 20th anniversary of Phat Girlz (2006), FFF serves as both homage and evolution. The film expands the conversation around colorism, sizeism, and shapeism, spotlighting women who have often been cast aside, sidelined, or silenced.
“This teaser is more than a preview—it’s a declaration,” said Lillie Mae Jones, creator and producer. “FFF is our love letter to the women who’ve never been centered but have always been essential. We’re not just telling stories—we’re shifting the lens.”
FFF: Full-Figured Flings is currently in development as a non-union independent production, with plans to release in 2026. The film invites audiences and allies to follow, support, and amplify the message through community engagement, open casting calls, and creative collaborations—including the launch of a nationwide call for a “Big Girl Anthem” to serve as the film’s official theme song.
Accept the Challenge…
The buzz is building fast around the highly anticipated full-figured fashion experience FFF, and now there’s a challenge on the table that fans won’t want to miss.
After racking up 11,000 views in less than 10 days, the official teaser video for FFF on YouTube is quickly gaining momentum. And now, the film’s Director of Photography, Dominique Perry, has thrown down a bold offer:
“If we hit 20,000 views before Saturday, June 14th, I’ll drop an exclusive second teaser on Father’s Day.”
This is more than a film—it’s a movement. FFF is a high-fashion, high-impact visual celebration of full-figured women taking a stand for representation, inclusion, and power on and off the runway.
Here’s how you can help make it happen: Watch the teaser now on YouTube. Like, comment, and subscribe. Share it with your community and post why YOU stand in solidarity with full-figured women
