"Despite dealing with tough subject matter (Alzheimer’s), the film is 'not a downer at all,' director James Keach told Country Weekly during the film’s premiere this past spring at the Nashville Film Festival. 'The idea was to make a film that he [Campbell] would want to see.'"

An interview with the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Ronald Petersen who was consulted about and appears in "I'll Be Me": "It's really been a unique experience for me," he says. "To go through this whole experience, to watch the film evolve, and to again use it as an opportunity to highlight the importance of Alzheimer's disease by following someone who on one hand was performing quite well on stage but was having considerable difficulties off-stage -- I hope that helps highlight the effects of this disease and what needs to be done about it."

“Here was a man that was told to hang up his guitar, go home and enjoy what life he had left, says director Keach. But he wanted to sing, laugh, make love, play music and celebrate life until it was taken from him. Glen always had a joke on hand, and was the most brilliant, country boy I had ever met.” Keach adds, “There were ups and downs, but the highs far outweighed the lows. Glen was full of love and light, and even in the darkest times of his confusion, he always showed signs of his true self.”

Film celebrating country music icon to open festival
A film documenting the life of American music icon Glen Campbell will open the Oscar-qualifying Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival on Oct. 10.

The film, “Glen Campbell … I’ll Be Me,” is directed and produced by James Keach (“Walk The Line”) and Trevor Albert (“Because of Winn Dixie,” “Groundhog Day”), and is “a powerful portrait of the life and career” of the country music legend, according to a release by the HSDFF.

Because of his Arkansas roots, HSDFF Executive Director Courtney Pledger said she expects opening night to be an overwhelming success.

“Opening night will be huge, there’s no question about that,” she said. “Everyone I’ve mentioned this film to has just said ‘I’ve got to see that,’ and their eyes light up because he’s so special to Arkansas.”
