Walsh stated, "We are searching for a wide variety of creative interpretations, captured in the most visually exciting way you can think of, whether you've been a hardcore Tramp since '73 or have heard one of his songs for the first time today!

As well as moving image accounts on camera, the filmmakers asked fans to provide photographs, old footage or audio narration to help them build up a picture of what the acclaimed songwriter and musician means to them.

Ideally, the higher quality the footage the better, but the producers stressed that any equipment, from smartphones to hi-def cameras are accepted – as long as they are all under 5 minutes in length.

Walsh spent six months editing the film and while there's certainly a lot of love for Bruce in the documentary, there were some things that he steered away from.

Randy Lewis of the Los Angeles Times said "When fans describe the passion of his performances or the connection of his music and lyrics to episodes in their lives, it's clearly heartfelt, but not significantly different than what fans of Bon Jovi or Billy Joel or Justin Bieber might say about their favorite artists.

If Springsteen and I doesn't conclusively answer the question of what distinguishes him from the thousands of others who have traveled the path of rock 'n' roll before and since he came along, it does give the faithful, and even the curious, a lot to bond over.

"[8] Austin O'Connor of AARP called the film "A love letter to The Boss" and that "Even the biggest Springsteen hater might be converted to one of the faithful.

[...] It's a quirky little film, at turns charming and creepy but ultimately redeeming, about people who are extremely devoted to the 63-year-old rock star."

One woman who sits far too close to her webcam gushes so rapturously about Springsteen’s effects on her you wonder if a restraining order might be required.
