Starring Outkast’s Andre 3000 as Hendrix, the film details the guitarist’s milestone year in the United Kingdom three years prior to his death. Under the direction of John Ridley, Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave, the film takes the audience from the lounge rooms to the recording studios of the London hipster scene. Jimi: All Is By My Side was screened at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival and South by Southwest before its UK release in August.
