here is more info about it: "heaven adores you" is an intimate and meditative look at the influence that elliott smith has had since his tragic passing in 2003. by threading together musical performances of those influenced by the music of elliott smith, through the lush and often isolating images of the three major cites he lived in throughout his short life (portland, or, new york, ny and los angeles, ca), this film will go beyond your average "behind the music" documentary by offering a visual journey and an intimate look at the singer's prolific songwriting, and the impact that he had on his fans and other musicians today. this project aims to be a celebration of elliott smith, his contributions to the music industry and exploration of his posthumous influence on the artistic endeavors of those within the global community.
we hope you will be willing to contribute and be an essential a part of the project by helping. you can also get more information by visiting their facebook page: heaven adoes you (an elliott smith project) facebook. thanks for considering it!
