"Heaven Adores You is an intimate, meditative inquiry into the life and music of Elliott Smith. By threading the music of Elliott Smith through the dense, yet often isolating landscapes of the three major cities he lived in, Heaven Adores You presents a visual journey and an earnest review of the singer's prolific songwriting and the impact it continues to have."

"THE PROJECT:

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..

THE BACK STORY:

I was living in Portland, OR between the years of 1994-1999. I fondly remember discovering Elliott's music and it's always been the soundtrack to my time in the Pacific Northwest. After his tragic death in Los Angeles in 2003, I found myself at the Solution's Wall in Silverlake, where a makeshift memorial was created. As a fan and a filmmaker, I recorded footage of the memorial and posted my video to YouTube. To this day I receive comments on the video from fans all over the world expressing their love for Elliott and their thanks for making a tribute video for him. To date the video has attracted nearly 750,000 views. There is a strong fan base for Elliott's music, even eight years after his death. His music is being discovered by fans who haven't heard of him until now.

In 2008, due to overwhelming positive feedback on the video on YouTube, I decided to embark on a more in depth project on Elliott Smith."
