GREETINGS FROM TIM BUCKLEY

Father and son movies are as old as the medium itself. Even dead father/alive son isn’t something new - but what makes ‘Greetings From Tim Buckley’ different is that it’s true. Any music lover over the age of 40 has heard of Tim Buckley. Any music lover under the age of 40 has heard of Jeff Buckley. While both had tragically short lives, they both had equally powerful careers, accomplishing more in their limited years (and even in death) than most could in multiple lifetimes.

It’s incredible how two people who’ve never met can share something as intimate as music.

In 1991, 16 years after his father’s death and three years before his debut and sadly only album ‘Grace’ is released, a 27-year-old Jeff Buckley travels from California to New York to participate in a tribute concert for his father. Armed only with a rudimentary knowledge of Tim’s music and the heartbreaking and constant reminder that he looks like the man he shares a last name with but no memories or emotional connection, Jeff navigates New York. He confronts his father’s fans, friends and old bandmates, his own talent, a new love and a ghost to become the man that would eventually inspire a generation, and ultimately give us one of the most beloved and haunting covers of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ and the original ‘Last Goodbye’ (originally called ‘Unforgiven’).
