Diane Warren: Relentless

Florida Premiere

She’s the most successful songwriter you never heard of! Boasting 15 Academy Award nominations, an Honorary Oscar, and Grammy, Emmy, and Golden Globe Awards, Diane Warren is responsible for the soundtrack of our lives, penning iconic hits for the world’s biggest pop stars including Cher, Whitney Houston, Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Celine, and Beyoncé. She's etched her name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, cementing herself as one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Born to humble beginnings in Van Nuys to a middle-class Jewish family, Diane was an outsider at home and in school. Music became her escape, and with unrelenting tenacity, she promoted her demos with record executives, producers, musicians, and anyone who would listen, ultimately catapulting herself to the top of the charts and the music industry.

Through candid interviews with friends, industry giants, and collaborators like Cher, Common, Gloria Estefan, Quincy Jones, and Toni Braxton, Diane’s journey from underdog to music industry titan is revealed with humor and heart in this in-depth film that offers a rare and captivating glimpse into her remarkable life and pursuit of crafting the perfect pop song.
