Louis Philippson – Becoming Famous

There is hardly anyone from Gen Alpha, Gen Z, or even the Millennials who doesn’t know him: 22-year-old pianist Louis Philippson. As a classical music influencer, he reaches millions with his humorous and creative social media content. A true rising star, he has achieved what once seemed almost impossible — drawing audiences with no prior connection to classical music into concert halls.

This documentary follows the artist during a formative phase in his life, one that raises important questions: how does Louis cope with the pressure without burning out? And how much energy and discipline does fame demand from a young person?
