Interesting facts

Hi, How Are You Daniel Johnston? is a 2015 American short documentary film about musician Daniel Johnston. The film was directed by Gabriel Sunday and executive produced by Lana Del Rey and Mac Miller. It premiered in Los Angeles at the Mama Gallery in November 2015.

Background and development

According to Billboard, the film took eight years to develop. The magazine described the motive of the film "to bring the audience inside the artist's schizophrenic head with that location acting as a cage-like home for his creative processes." The film was funded through a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter, with rapper Mac Miller and singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey both contributing funds to it.

The film's title derives from Johnston's self-proclaimed "unfinished album" from 1983, Hi, How Are You.
