Join us at Sundance 2025 for a red carpet interview with Academy Award winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald, the visionary director behind ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO. Fresh off its critically acclaimed premieres at the 2024 Venice Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival, this electrifying documentary is already being hailed as “exhilarating” (The Hollywood Reporter), “electric” (Moveable Feast), and “the rare rock doc that’s a must-see” (Variety). Slated for an exclusive IMAX release on April 11 through Magnolia Pictures, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO takes audiences on an immersive journey through John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s transformative 18 months in early 1970s Greenwich Village.

Something Divine takes viewers on a spiritual pilgrimage through the holy cities of India, led by hardcore punk icon turned monk, Raghunath. 
Raghunath, known for his work with the straight edge band Youth of Today, left the punk scene at the height of his career to pursue a life of deep spiritual meaning. 

His journey from punk artist to monk, and the fusion of hardcore punk and spirituality, is at the heart of this remarkable documentary. Something Divine explores the transformative power of faith and the unlikely intersections between music and spiritual growth. It’s a film about personal transformation and the universal search for something greater than ourselves.
