Columbus Jewish Film Festival - Diane Warren: Relentless

Opening Night - Diane Warren: Relentless

Directed by Bess Kargman, Documentary, 2024, USA, 90 min.

She is the most successful songwriter many have not head of. Diane Warren has penned iconic works for the world’s biggest pop stars including Cher, Whitney Houston, Aerosmith, Britney Spears, and Beyonce. This in-depth documentary reveals the artist behind the songs. Born to humble beginnings in the Van Nuys to a middle class Jewish family, Diane was an outsider at home and in school. Music became her escape, and her sole interest was in crafting the perfect pop song. With unrelenting tenacity she promoted her demos with record executives, producers, musicians, and anyone who would listen; catapulting herself to the top of the charts and the music industry, as well as earning 15 Oscar nominations. Interviews with friends, industry executives, and collaborators including Cher, Common, Gloria Estefan, Quincy Jones, and Toni Braxton provide an insider’s perspective, while Diane talks charismatically and candidly about her life and career.
