Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 2026

Berlin Film Festival, Everybody Digs Bill Evans is a

biographical drama film about the famous jazz pianist and

composer Bill Evans.

1961. Bill Evans is playing with what he considers the

perfect musical trio until tragedy strikes in the premature

death of his bass player, Scott LaFaro – his musical soulmate.

Traumatised by grief, Evans stops playing for the first time

since his childhood. A tug-of-war between personal torment

and the seemingly safer haven of familial love will see Evans

oscillate between New York and suburbia, his genius always bubbling beneath the surface.
