'This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home,' the singer said on Monday.

In an effort to show who she is as a person some of the footage was shot by Beyoncé on her laptop, 'in which she reflects on the realities of celebrity, the refuge she finds onstage and the transcendent joy of becoming a mother last year'.

The documentary will include home movies, her reflections on her family’s role in her career including when she decided to fire her father Matthew Knowles as her manager, and the struggles she went through to building her own company, Parkwood Entertainment.

Beyoncé also promises to show what she went through to return to the spotlight after the birth of her and husband’s, rap mogul Jay Z, first child, Blue Ivy Carter, in January 2012.

'Everybody knows Beyoncé's music, but few know Beyoncé the person,' Michael Lombardo, president HBO Programming, said.

The start of 2013 is set to be all about Beyoncé.
As not only will she be releasing her first documentary film, but 13 days prior will perform at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show on February 3.

Beyoncé has stepped in front of the camera before of course, but only to direct a film clip.

Beyoncé won Director of the Year at the 2012 BET awards when she joined forces with Alan Ferguson to co-direct music videos for her tracks Party and Dance For You.

The former Destiny's Child star had started to let fans get a better understanding of her life through posting personal pictures on Tumblr, such as the one above, but her new documentary is the next step for the singer
