Billie Eilish, who stars in the film

Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles is a 2021 American concert film directed by Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Osborne. It stars singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, who performs all 16 tracks from her second studio album Happier Than Ever (2021) at Los Angeles's Hollywood Bowl. Inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and Cool World (1992), the film blends live action with animation; its animated scenes combine motion capture footage of Eilish with rotoscoping by Osborne. Principal photography at the Hollywood Bowl took place for one week and without a live audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to a lack of a crowd, the crew recorded Eilish from very close distances, aiming to create a sense of intimacy between her and the viewers. The film—released exclusively to Disney+ on September 2021—was praised by critics for its performances, animation style, and cinematography. It received nominations for multiple awards, such as Best Music Film at the 2022 Grammy Awards. (Full article...)

Coordinator note I am more inclined to run a soccer article on this, the date of the World Cup final, and there is one in the pending template. Would you be willing to accept an adjacent date? Or prefer to put this off for another date? The birthday of the performer is not an anniversary that people are going to "get".--Wehwalt (talk) 06:08, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
