Director John Anderson and producer Maggie Magee are wearing big SMiLEs as their “Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE” concert video heads for the 2006 Grammy awards.
“SMiLE” will compete with some of the most illustrious names in contemporary music for Best Long Form Video.
They are Bob Dylan’s “No Direction Home,” directed by Martin Scorsese; R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet (Chapters 1-5);” “End of The Century: The Story of The Ramones” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Devils & Dust.”
Anderson has good vibrations about winning. He is confident the video has a fair shot at a Grammy statuette, given Wilson’s compelling performance and “the tremendous story of the trial and struggles behind the legendary lost masterpiece,” he said.
