On the heels of three Emmy nominations for his most recent documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, Bao Nguyen has entered production on Jimi, an authorized, feature-length doc on the meteoric rise of rock star Jimi Hendrix for Double Agent (Asif Kapadia’s 2073), Network Entertainment (Brats, Sidney), and Experience Hendrix.
The origin story watches as 23-year-old unsung sideman Jimmy James arrives in the Swinging London of 1966 and quickly establishes himself as “Jimi Hendrix,” blowing away the luminaries of the era with his virtuosic technique.
Within a year, Hendrix is catapulted back to the U.S. for his breakout psychedelic performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, exploding into the most iconic guitar player in the history of popular music.
Through newly commissioned interviews, never-before-seen photos and meticulously curated and restored archival footage, as well as the immortal Hendrix tracks that dominated the charts, Jimi will tell the story of a transformational period in music history when Hendrix set the world — and his guitar — on fire.
