Director Ron Howard and his frequent producer partner Brian Grazer will be shooting a Made In America documentary when the Budweiser-sponsored music festival takes place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Labor Day weekend, the New York Post reports.
Grazer told the Post that he is producing the film with hip-hop exec Steve Stoute and Jay-Z. "Ron is directing," Grazer said, confirming the alliance of the Brooklyn rapper and the former Opie from The Andy Griffith Show.. "It is going to be born through Jay-Z’s perspective . . . how he puts the event together. . . . I can’t even begin to explain how he is capable of remaining relevant. He is a phenom, like a musical Michael Jordan." Budweiser marketing VP Paul Chibe will share executive producer credit with Jay-Z, according to AdAge.
Made In America is expected to attract more than 40,000 music fans to the Parkway on Sept. 1 and 2, with Jay-Z headlining the first night and Pearl Jam the second, with Skrillex, Odd Future, Rick Ross, Jill Scott, Santigold, D'Angelo and X among the two and half dozen acts on the bill.

Concerts of this size happen all the time. What is so special? This is lefty propaganda.— Captain Terrific- why not make made in America a reality. we export too much.The more products we make here the more Americans are working.— tony bell
- Yeah Captain, it's about time for the great "conservative" directors to make that classic "conservative" concert film....'cept that there ARE no great conservative directors and your choices of "conservative" pop are Ted Nugget and Toby "Amurik" Keith. I don't even think you'd get the Mittster or Paul "Went To College On Social Security Benefits" Ryan to watch that drivel.— CiceroSpuriousDeodatus

My prediction and made here for the first time is ;
there’s gonna be 110,000 exited people on the Parkway.- There are no socialist directors in Hollywood. There are capitalist directors who make socialist pictures. (not my quote but I wish it was)— Phillyup
