Unlike previous Road To Releases where viewers feel like they are a fly on the wall during studio sessions, The Weeknd's Road To Release is more of a documentary. Throughout the documentary, the camera is literally following The Weeknd around instead of just being placed in one spot, so much so that you hear the wind hitting the camera. As a companion on The Weeknd's journey you are apart of very intimate moments, especially after he reveals that he hadn't been out of Toronto very much and had never been on a plane until after House of Balloons was released. You see him out of his shell in foregin lands and although he is very respectful of the customs and fully engages himself in the experience, he is very gentle, and if one false move will wake him up from the dream that is his life.
This Road To Release was also written, directed and produced by The Weeknd. As you see in the documentary, he has a heavy hand in everything he does.
