“There were times between interviews where he would say, ‘This really describes me as a person, so if there’s ever a documentary made about me, you should use that to tell the story,’” Burman added of the footage material d archive: “He was like, ‘If we’re going to make a documentary, we have to talk about alcohol; we need to talk about the bad things in my life.’ I looked for clues like this: I listened to Tim for hours and hours trying to understand him and put the pieces together about who he was as a person and who Avicii was as an artist.”
