# Jay-Z’s ‘Made in America’ Festival to Hit the Big Screen

**Jay-Z** will be teaming up with two other titans, Oscar winning director **Ron Howard** and producer **Brian Gazer**, to bring Jigga’s Made In America music festival to the big screen, according to the NY Post.

The star-studded festival, which takes place in Philadelphia on September 1-2, will feature a packed list of artists including Drake, Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group, Run-DMC, DJ Shadow, Dirty Projectors and many others.

While it is unknown whether it will be a straight documentary or something more dramatic, Grazer told the NY Post that the film “is going to be born through Jay-Z’s perspective . . . how he puts the event together. Jay stayed the king for a very long time . . . I can’t even begin to explain how he is capable of remaining relevant. He is a phenom, like a musical Michael Jordan.” Well that sounds like a slam dunk.
