Yungblud’s documentary “YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY?” is set for a theatrical release globally, with screenings on August 20 and 24.

The documentary will follow Yungblud (real name is Dominic Harrison) at the famed Hansa Studios in Berlin, where the singer recorded live performances of his latest album Idols, which came out June 20.

Paul Dugdale directed the documentary, with Dugdale saying they made the film “in that special twilight zone between the record being finished and people hearing it for the first time .. I always think of that moment before a release as such a unique time for an artist and it’s an extraordinary period to document because we can enter into it without any external noise or pre-conception. It allowed us to make something unaffected by the outside world, and there’s a really pleasing purity about that. We got to live in a moment with Dom, free of any external opinion and start a relationship from a totally blank canvas.”

Yungblud said in a statement: “I wanted to make a film that truly documents where we are right now, at this moment, around the release of my most ambitious album to date. Berlin has always radiated complete, unfiltered truth. Every time I’ve visited Hansa Studios, it’s just f*cking iconic. You can feel the history in Hansa; it’s in the silence between takes, the ceiling looming over you. You’re standing in the shadows of all these legends and asking yourself ‘who the fuck am I? And what am I gonna leave behind?’”

YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? was produced by Yungblud’s B.R.A.T. Productions, in association with Aldgate Pictures. Trafalgar CEO Marc Allenby said in a statement: “We are so proud to share this portrait of an incredible artist by acclaimed director Paul Dugdale, and can’t wait for audiences worldwide to experience Yungblud’s life and music on the big screen,”
