Oscar winner spotlights rock legend Jimi Hendrix: Louisiana, the man who would win an Academy Award for writing its
screenplay was in Dublin to start shooting his movie about the year that
changed the life of rock guitar icon Jimi Hendrix.
"Jimi: All Is by My Side" from writer and director John Ridley was
shown this week at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin,
Texas. The small film drew much greater attention thanks to Ridley's
Academy Award.
"There is this added thing now, and people will see it through that
prism of the Oscar," Ridley, who won the award for best adapted
screenplay for "12 Years a Slave," said in an interview this week.
