Steve Condie

Steve Condie’s name pops up in some of the more memorable music and political documentaries of the past few years, and honestly, the guy’s got a knack for digging into the messy, human side of big stories. One to One: John & Yoko (2024) isn’t your run-of-the-mill Beatles nostalgia fest—Condie dives deep into the chaotic swirl of Lennon and Ono’s relationship, all the activism, the art, and the straight-up weirdness that came with it. He’s not just recycling old headlines; he makes you feel like you’re right in the thick of 1970s New York, with all the tension and possibility in the air. Then there’s Blair & Brown: The New Labour Revolution—yeah, British politics, but Condie finds the drama and rivalry at the heart of it. It’s not just dry interviews or political jargon; you get the sense of how personal ambition, backroom deals, and clashing egos shaped the country. He’s got a way of pulling out the juicy bits, the stuff people usually whisper about but never say on camera. And My Life as a Rolling Stone (2022)? Man, that’s just a wild ride. He doesn’t just parade out the usual rock-star clichés. Instead, he gets up close and personal with the band, showing off their flaws, the backstage headaches, and all the wild energy that’s kept them going for decades. Condie knows how to find the pulse in a story, whether it’s rock ‘n’ roll or political power plays, and he’s not afraid to show the warts and all.
