Directed by Doug Hamilton ("60 Minutes," "Frontline," "NOVA," "American Masters" and company photographer for Atlantic Theater Company), the film features Armstrong alongside Tony-winning director Michael Mayer, who helmed American Idiot and contributed to the musical's book, and Tom Kitt, who was the production's music supervisor, arranger and orchestrator.

"Broadway Idiot," according to SXSW, "follows Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong from a punk rock concert at Madison Square Garden to the opening of his musical American Idiot on Broadway — only ten blocks away, but worlds apart. From behind the curtain share in the crazy journey of turning the mega-hit album into a punk rock musical — and ultimately see how the world of theatre transformed Billie Joe."

According to the film's Facebook page, producers plan to "get 'Broadway Idiot' out there for everyone to see." There are no further details about wide distribution.  

Produced by Broadway producer Ira Pittelman (American Idiot), the 80-minute film's creative team also includes cinematographer Dan Krauss, editor Rob Tinworth and sound designer Greg McCleary. Music is by Green Day.
