Billy Preston: That's the Way God Planned It
DIRECTOR, CO-WRITER, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Theatrical Release in February, 2026
Billy Preston’s signature gospel sound on the Hammond B3 elevated icons like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and more. In the film, we explore his influential career, his own chart-topping hits, and the internal conflict he faced as a gay Black man, torn between his deep church roots and his search for a family that would accept him. Featuring Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Olivia Harrison, Billy Porter and Corey Henry.
