Thank you to everyone who supported us with a campaign contribution! We will be working hard to finish the film for the fall.

Watch this early look at the film, told in Clarence's own words:

“I got this crazy idea about playing sax on the Great Wall” 

- Clarence Clemons

Clarence Clemons, legendary saxophonist of the E Street Band, who played alongside Bruce Springsteen for 40 years, had something he wanted to share with the world. And he had planned to do it through this documentary film, which he was working on up until his death.

In 2005, after a long tour with Bruce and the E Street Band, Clarence wanted to go someplace he had never been, to the other side of the world....China. 

“Clarence Clemons: Who Do I Think I Am?” shows the profound effect of a trip to Northeast China, a place where no one knew who he was. Clarence explained: 

This search for his true self took him from rural China to the streets of San Francisco. The film shows us his soulful mission and how it changed him, while it pays tribute to The Big Man, through recollections with his closest friends and family members.

"Clarence Clemons: Who Do I Think I Am?" is labor of love for director and acclaimed photographer Nick Mead, who spent 6 years filming with Clarence. Producer Joe Amodei came on board after attending an early screening in New Jersey. It was there that he promised Clarence and Nick to help them finish and release the film.

The film features interviews with President Bill Clinton, Jake Clemons, Joe Walsh, Willie Nile, Nils Lofgren, Vini Lopez, Norman Seldin, Michael Narada Walden, Gayle Morrison, Danny Clinch, Don Reo and additional family and friends who knew him well.

We are looking to fans from across the globe to help us make good on a promise to complete the film, which was made to Clarence before his death.

Your contributions will provide us with the means to afford expensive music licenses, film final interviews and complete the editing and final sound work in a way that would make The Big Man proud.

Discount Offer! All of the unsold perks have been discounted, starting on May 24! Do not miss out!
