SYNOPSIS: It all started on a rainy day in 1999 in Rudi´s Editing Suite: After
approving her new video (produced by DoRo) Whitney still had a
few hours before her return flight. She asked Rudi, who has been
working with her since the 80s, what new projects with other artists
he had directed. He showed her FREDDIE MERCURY – THE UNTOLD
STORY and also showed her his new film on the Rolling Stones. Halfway
through the Stones film, she asked to stop and said, “Rudi, I
want you to do a film like this about me!”
Whitney and Rudi shook hands and the project, WHITNEY, CLOSE UP
was born. A few days later Rudi and his DoRo team started filming
what would become her last big World Tour. Rudi caught behind the
scenes footage of Whitney never before allowed to be filmed: the
last moments before she went on stage, rehearsals, arguments in
the dressing room, backstage parties, church. More than 100 hours
of footage was captured. He also conducted interviews with Whitney
and many celebrities, musicians, family and others close to her. After
18 Years, the long journey with this project WHITNEY, CLOSE UP is
finally finished. The result is the closest and most intimate look at a
superstar there ever was.
