I truly hope you watch and get moved and inspired.
Available worldwide tomorrow, March 20th, on Netflix, is the documentary I produced, shining a light on the incredible story of…The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel.

So excited to let everyone know that the film I produced, The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel, will debut worldwide on @netflix on March 20th!!

It will also make its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival this Friday!

It has been an incredible ride making this movie, which is a beautiful story of a group of misfits, the chaos of youth, the underground in LA in the 80s, and most importantly the incredible bonds of friendship made when we are young.

Many thanks to @benfeldmandirector for leading the way and @johntarq, @jpowers, and @zach_djanikian, as well as everyone else who worked on the film for their incredible contributions. Link to trailer in bio!

Couldn’t be more excited to announce that our documentary feature, THE RISE OF THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS: OUR BROTHER HILLEL, is officially set to make its world premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival! The film will then have its global release on Netflix, March 20th.

It’s been an immense pleasure helping craft the creative vision of director, @benfeldmandirector, and producer, @mdag. Beautiful animation by @allagesproductions. This project has left us with a deep, deep love for the magic of Hillel Slovak. His spirit is genuinely infectious. His talent was humbling. We strive to honor and celebrate his legacy.

Eternal thanks to the Slovak family and @chilipeppers for the incredible interviews given, along with @alainjohannes, @jackironsdrummer, @yolikegeorge, @michaelbeinhorn, and many others. Their memories of Hillel brought this film to life. Profoundly grateful to be partnering with @netflix to bring this story to a global audience.

“At its heart, this is a deeply relatable story — about the friendships that shape our identities and the lasting power of the bonds forged in adolescence. What’s less relatable, of course, is that here those friends went on to create one of the greatest rock bands in history.” - Ben Feldman

More info on the film:

“An in-depth look at the gritty formative years of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the singular vision of original guitarist Hillel Slovak. Featuring interviews with bandmates Flea and Anthony Kiedis and others close to Slovak, the film explores the band’s early evolution on the LA music scene and the deep bond of their childhood friendship.”
