Editorial Summary
Justin Baldoni discusses his experience directing and producing the film Clouds, which tells the true story of his friend Zach Sobiak. Baldoni explains that while searching for a unique story involving music, he discovered Zach and his song Clouds. This discovery led to a documentary that went viral, eventually resulting in Zach becoming the first unsigned artist to reach number one on iTunes. During the production of the feature film, Baldoni sought to create a musical moment between the characters played by Finn Wolfhard and Amy. He asked Finn to write a song from Zach to Amy. While researching the role, Finn visited Zach's actual room and photographed lyrics from an unfinished song in Zach's journal. Finn used these lyrics to create a chorus for his new song. Baldoni describes a remarkable coincidence where the chord progression Finn wrote independently matched the chords Zach had originally written in his journal. Baldoni concludes by reflecting on the value of time and encouraging viewers to watch the film on Disney Plus.
