Thrillist: It's remarkable just how much detail, as well as just how much of Lil Peep's life was caught on camera. Lil Peep performing at the Day N Night Festival in Anaheim in 2017. Lil peep documentary movie#Thrillist spoke with the directors of Everybody's Everything, Sebastian Jones - who was an editor on Malick's gorgeous new movie A Hidden Life, and worked on Voyage of Time and Song to Song in other capacities - and Ramez Silyan, about the task of documenting the life and career of Lil Peep, as well as producing a tribute befitting of one of music's most dearly departed geniuses. It began to consume him people demanded more than he could give. He wanted to be accepted by his peers, just as much as he never wanted to lead a friend astray, leave a friend hanging or behind. His music wasn't him posturing it came from a very real and very dark place. It was clear from his music and public persona that Peep battled with personal demons, depression and substance abuse. In three short years, Lil Peep went from a SoundCloud rapper posting his own tracks from his bedroom in Long Island to a member of the rap collective Goth Boi Clique, to a burgeoning star touring overseas as a headliner to sold-out crowds in cities like Paris and Berlin as well as major cities in the United States.
