    There hasn’t been anything posted on the All I Can Say Instagram page since November. The last post of interest is the “we do not have details yet...” one above.

    you'd have to have the patience of a saint to have contributed to this and not being flipping tables at this point. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Haha.. I am patient but it will be a good watch as it's a lot of Shannon's personal footage that his mother Nel has released. Sad to read his mum is selling a lot of things to get by as she has been so open to his fans allowing them in her home where Shannon grew up. She will not be selling any of his personal items. You can head over to her face book page and send her a message she has things listed on her page for sale. She seems like a beautiful old lady as she is now 80 years old.

    EXCLUSIVE: There is a certain generation that basks in the ’90s Blind Melon tune “No Rain” and Oscilloscope Laboratories is looking to shed light on that era via the forthcoming documentary All I Can Say. The indie film company co-founded by Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch has acquired the North American rights to the docu from the late Blind Melon frontman Shannon Hoon. Oscilloscope is set to release the film later this year.

    Shot firsthand by Hoon over the course of five years up until a few hours before his sudden death at the age of 28 in 1995, All I Can Say made its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019. Hoon used his camera as a diary and he meticulously documented facets of his life including his family, his creative process, his band’s rise to fame, and his struggle with addiction. From the birth of Hoon’s daughter to his documentation of ’90s politics and culture, filmmakers Danny Clinch, Taryn Gould, and Colleen Hennessy compiled material for an intimate, nuanced portrait of the artist — created solely with his own footage.

    “All I Can Say tells the story of a person who never heard his daughter speak her first word, but left her this strange, intimate and fragmented chronicle that she would one day watch in the form of this film,” said the filmmakers in a joint statement. “We feel extremely fortunate and excited that a visionary company like Oscilloscope, with its reputation for creatively bold and inspired work, has joined us to now thoughtfully bring the film to the rest of the world.”

    O-Scope’s Dan Berger said that the docu “is a masterful feat of filmmaking by an extremely talented and invested group of artists.” He adds, “Working exclusively with Shannon’s own footage to construct a compelling and cohesive story was no small undertaking, but their commitment to that concept, which they pulled off perfectly, truly makes this a posthumous work of Shannon’s. It’s intimate. It’s touching. It’s full of love and life and pain. And it says so much more about the man as a result.”

    I find it odd these docs put out all that waiting for what often amounts to a single night theatrical release in a very limited number of theatres.   I guess maybe it would get overlook on straight to digital, but it'd he good to see (I'm also really wanting to see the Gorge documentary).

    i guess it depends on getting the funding for distribution. i don't know how these deals work, but maybe potential buyers want to see the finished product prior to signing on to fund it? unless it's a slam dunk, which this one won't be.

    Yes. I spoke with the venue in IL and they said they will have a link up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by the weekend to purchase and stream at home.

    i still don't get this. why do they have all these "virtual theatres" in different cities with specific locations named if it's just streaming? to me it looks like I have to go somewhere to watch it.

    I think it's to help support a local venue if you have one near you.

    They are calling it a “Virtual Cinema”.  I think these theaters in each city get part of revenue from streaming it from then.  That’s why each city has a separate link. There are 4 or 5 cinemas where they are showing it at the actual theater and allowing an audience.

    I was wondering if that was the case, but then thought "why is the production giving up all the revenues if this cost so damn much to make?". but sounds good. can't wait to watch this.

    I watched it tonight.  It was
    great...heartbreaking, but great.  Danny Clinch really did a nice job with this.  I miss Shannon. I miss Blind Melon.  They are not the same without him.
    There were a couple PJ references and a touching Mike McCready appearance.  Also loved the song Shannon was singing called “Fade Away”.  I’d love to hear more of that if it exists.
