More than a year after the film began its journey across the film festival circuit in Toronto in 2013, John Ridley's year-before-superstardom portrait of rock icon Jimi Hendrix, Jimi: All Is by My Side, finally arrives in cinemas. The writer/director and his star, André Benjamin, best known to many as André 3000 of Outkast, discussed a variety of topics on the production of this unconventional biopic of the music legend at a press conference in Beverly Hills on Sunday, September 21.
Jimi: All Is by My Side opens in limited release this Friday, September 26, from Xlrator Media, with expansion in cinemas nationwide over the weeks to come.
