IT’S NEVER OVER: JEFF BUCKLEY, directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (DELIVER US FROM EVIL, JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, WEST OF MEMPHIS), covers the life of the rising young star with an otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry, who left the ’90s music world reeling when he died suddenly, at age 30, after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Grace.
Told through never-before-seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, Jeff’s former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, and luminaries like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY illuminates one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures.
Jeff Buckley was born in Orange County on November 17, 1966, and died in a tragic drowning accident in Memphis on May 29, 1997. He had emerged in New York City’s avant-garde club scene in the 1990’s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike.
His first commercial recording — the four-song EP, Live At Sin-é — was released in November 1993 on Columbia Records. The EP captured Buckley and his electric guitar in a tiny coffeehouse in New York’s East Village, the neighborhood where he’d made his home. Buckley’s album Grace was released in the United States on August 23, 1994. It would be his only studio album.
IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY is set to hit select theaters August 8th, 2025.
