Allee Willis was a singular musical phenom whose career defied societal and industrial molds, from Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" to the Pointer Sisters' "Neutron Dance" to the theme song from the show Friends. The World According to Allee Willis is both a love letter to the late artist from the famous folks who loved her — Cyndi Lauper, Alice Walker, the Pet Shop Boys, Lily Tomlin, Luenell, DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh, and Willis’ longtime partner Prudence Fenton — and a tour of Willis' impressive archives of early video, kitsch collectibles, and musical offerings. It’s also an invitation to the coolest pool parties of the 80s where you could rub elbows with the likes of Elvira, Patti LaBelle, Paul Reubens, Joni Mitchell, and Debbie Harry at Willis' astonishing Los Angeles home.

This film is the realization of her wish that her “final art piece be someone putting together the trail I have left behind.”
