The Danny Clinch-directed documentary, All I Can Say, on late Blind Melon frontman Shannon Hoon arrived today (June 26). The long-awaited film is now available to watch at home via virtual theaters and Oscilloscope.

Renowned music photographer and filmmaker Danny Clinch began raising money to make All I Can Say with a Kickstarter campaign back in 2015. While Clinch was a friend of the band and early collaborator, the doc was filmed by Hoon himself on his Hi8 video camera.

Read details for the film below:

Shannon Hoon, lead singer of the rock band Blind Melon, filmed himself from 1990-95 with a Hi8 video camera, recording up until a few hours before his sudden death at the age of 28. 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 90’s, an era right before the internet changed the world. Created with his own footage, voice and music, this intimate autobiography is a prescient exploration of experience and memory in the age of video. It is also Shannon Hoon’s last work, completed 23 years after his death.
