Description

Shannon Hoon, lead singer of the rock band Blind Melon, filmed himself religiously from 1990-1995 with a video camera, recording up until a few hours before his sudden death at the age of twenty-eight. His camera was a diary and his closest confidant. In the hundreds of hours of footage, Hoon meticulously documented his life—his family, his creative process, his television, his band’s rise to fame, and his struggle with addiction. He filmed his daughter’s birth, and archived the politics and culture of the 90s, an era right before the internet changed the world. Created solely with his own footage, voice, and music, this rare autobiography is a prescient exploration of experience and memory in the age of video. It is also Hoon’s last work, completed twenty-three years after his death.

    This doc is just so raw that all the events hit you deep down to the core. It’s amazing that the filmmakers were able to do what they did with Shannon’s tapes. It’s also great seeing a doc from the first person POV which was done in this one, opposed to having actors. This doc left me heartbroken for Shannon and the band and left me lost for words. Amazing doc, my only complaint is that I wish this was longer and we could have seen more of the tapes! RIP Shannon Hoon <3

    This is one of the best that I’ve seen being played out from the beginning of the bands success through the late Shannon Hoon’s eyes. Sad that such a talent fell to addiction.
  • Wonderful documentary
