It's a true honor to open AFI Fest with 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.' AFI has always championed bold, meaningful storytelling, and I'm grateful to be part of that tradition. While Bruce's roots will forever be in New Jersey, Los Angeles played a profound role in shaping his artistic voice. I want to thank Bob Gazzale and everyone at AFI for this extraordinary privilege,
AFI Fest is the stage and the screens where the world's stories come together in Hollywood,
To open with 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' honors the global impact of an American icon and the true artistry it takes to tell his tale.
