Documentary on hitmaker David Foster to debut at TIFF

A documentary about legendary Canadian hitmaker David Foster is set to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Organizers say the world premiere of David Foster: Off The Record will be followed by a special address to the Victoria-born music producer and composer at the TIFF Tribute Gala.

Directed by Toronto filmmaker Barry Avrich, the film offers an up-close look at the 16-time Grammy Award winner through archival footage and interviews with Foster’s famous collaborators.

Actress-singer Katharine McPhee, whom Foster recently married, also appears.

The film charts Foster’s career working with some of the biggest names in music to the tune of more than half a billion record sales.
