Synopsis

“Love Shines” pulls back the curtain for a rare glimpse inside the recording studio as singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith partners with legendary producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Mötley Crüe). Through a series of flashbacks, the songwriter confronts the meaning of success, the realities of the music industry and the humble beginnings that sparked the birth of his songs.

Punctuated by Super 8 footage chronicling the early years, an extraordinary playlist and a stellar cast featuring Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Feist, Kiefer Sutherland and Daniel Lanois, “Love Shines” is a journey to the heart and soul of what songwriting is truly about.
