A.J. Eaton, David Crosby, Cameron Crowe (Henry Diltz)The North American rights to the new documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name, which premiered Saturday at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, have been purchased by Sony Pictures Classics for a sum in the low seven figures, Deadline reports.

The deal also covers some other unspecified territories.

Remember My Name takes an unfiltered look at the 77-year-old folk-rock legend’s life and career, including the recent burst of creativity that’s coincided with the 2015 breakup of Crosby, Stills & Nash. The movie was directed by A.J. Eaton, and was co-produced by acclaimed filmmaker and rock journalist Cameron Crowe. Crowe and Eaton also conducted the interviews with Crosby at the center of the film.

“With its extraordinary track record and passion for independent cinema, [Sony Pictures Classics] is the perfect home for our film,” Cameron says in a statement. “We are looking forward to sharing David’s inspiring story with his loyal fans and legions of new ones.”

Crosby’s former Byrds band mate Roger McGuinn, who appears in Remember My Name, took to Twitter to congratulate David on the film getting acquired by Sony Classics. Crosby responded by tweeting, “Thank you Roger for being in it and being forthright and truthful. I appreciate it.”

Meanwhile, in a recent video interview conducted by Deadline at Sundance with Crosby, Crowe and Eaton, David explains that he wanted the movie to present a completely honest portrait of him.

“I know I flawed…I know I’ve made tons of mistakes. [But] I try really hard to be a decent human being now, and I try really hard to make good art,” he maintains. “That’s all I’m credited for. These guys are willing to give me that, but they’re not willing to give me any place to hide, and that’s good.”
