Paul Thomas Anderson Directing Cameron Winter Carnegie Hall Concert Film For MUBI

Indie music aficionados and cinema purists are getting a dream collaboration. Full distribution and premiere details have been locked in for *Live At Carnegie Hall*, an upcoming concert feature starring Geese frontman Cameron Winter. The film isn't just a standard gig recording—it was helmed by acclaimed Oscar-nominated auteur Paul Thomas Anderson. The feature captures Winter’s high-profile solo gig inside the historic Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall on December 11, 2025. Stepping away from his day job leading the Brooklyn band Geese, the frontman sat down at the piano to perform haunting, stripped-back renditions of tracks from his 2024 solo album *Heavy Metal*.

Rumors of the secret project first sparked during the show itself when attendees spotted Anderson weaving through the audience carrying a camera. Social media footage posted by fans showed the legendary director behind *Phantom Thread* personally operating a rig in the aisle during Winter's performance of "Nina + Field Of Cops." Anderson wasn't the only heavy hitter on set that night. *Uncut Gems* co-director Benny Safdie served as a producer on the project and was seen actively assisting Anderson with camera equipment on the venue floor. Reports indicate an extra stationary camera was also stationed up in the auditorium balcony to capture wide shots of the historic New York venue. Staying true to Anderson’s obsession with physical media, the entire concert was captured using a mix of 35mm and 16mm film stock. The analog format promises to bring a rich, textured, vintage aesthetic to Winter's moody piano arrangements.

European audiences will also get a premiere screening in the UK. Following its festival debut, *Live At Carnegie Hall* will head straight to streaming. Platform powerhouse MUBI has secured the release rights, giving fans nationwide the chance to stream the unique musical crossover at home.
