Director: Amy J. Berg Run Time: 106 min. Release Year: 2025 Starring: Jeff Buckley Synopsis: Rising musician Jeff Buckley had only released one album when he died suddenly in 1997. Now, never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and accounts from those closest to him offer a portrait of the captivating singer. Almost 30 years after his death, the cult of Jeff Buckley continues to grow. He has an extremely devoted fan base. We are limiting any early screenings of this film so that we can ensure the die-hards come out to the theater opening weekend. And they will – I have to say, I’m frankly amazed at the enthusiasm of Buckley’s fans: 7m monthly listeners on Spotify, an active Reddit community, legions of younger fans finding his music on TikTok.
