Produced and Directed by Bill Teck and Produced by David Fisher and Rob Cotto for HBO Documentary Films, with executive producers, Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller and supervising producer, Anna Klein.

In Disciple, New Jersey’s famous consigliere to Bruce Springsteen  and Tony Soprano, takes center stage and Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple traces his career as a producer, musician, songwriter,  activist, actor, and more — from Asbury Park clubs and arena stadiums to  the Bada Bing Club and the Underground Garage. Featuring exclusive  interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Darlene Love, Eddie Vedder, Paul  McCartney, and Bono, the film illuminates the influential and enduring legacy Van Zandt continues to have as a fervent champion of rock ‘n’  roll and social justice.

"Inspirational, exhausting, heartbreaking, insane and frequently  transcendent, it’s hard to think of another life that captures the last  seventy years of rock and roll quite so vividly...Intimate and Epic" - Stephen Trousse, Uncut Magazine

“One of the best music documentaries to be released in recent years.” – John Curley, Goldmine Magazine

"An ode to the transformative power of Rock n Roll... Disciple helps shed light on one of the most admirable stories in pop music (and culture), giving space to a character too surreal to be  believable, and too real to be invented... a film that, in addition to elucidating one of the most prolific and  impressive musical careers of all time, circumvents all the clichés of  the genre"

- Davi Caro, Scream and Yell 

“There has never been a rock biopic quite like “Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple” because there’s never been a human being quite like Stevie Van Zandt. A generously chronicled portrait of a rock and roll great”  – Verne Gay, Newsday

“Comprehensive, entertaining and star studded”

 – Richard Roeper – Chicago Sun-Times

“Electric, infectious and celebratory, “Disciple” is the rare film that yearns – like Stevie

himself – for the preservation of the genre and spirit of Rock N’ Roll ” – Cara Cusumano, Tribeca Festival – Festival Director - (World Premiere: Spotlight Documentary)

“A Rock n Roll epic like no other!” —- Jay Lustig, NJ Arts

"...Another thing “Disciple” does well is to just let the jams tell the story. You’d think music documentaries would always be heavy on performance footage, but that often isn’t the case. “Disciple” bucks that trend"  – Johnny Loftus, Decider

“Disciple” plucks the right notes. What really elevates “Disciple” is the dizzying list of bold-faced names that pop up seemingly at the drop of a guitar pick. When Van Zandt mentions the seminal experience of seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan’s show, it’s almost immediately followed by an interview with Paul McCartney.  “Disciple” wears its soul, and its love for the music these artists created brightly displayed where all the world can see it.” - Brian Lowry, CNN
