Directed by Shannon Hoon, Danny Clinch, Colleen Hennessy, and Taryn Gould • 2019 • United States

From 1990 to 1995, Shannon Hoon—lead singer of the rock band Blind Melon, who were catapulted to fame with their quintessential alternative anthem “No Rain”—filmed himself with a Hi8 video camera, recording up until a few hours before his sudden death at the age of twenty-eight. His camera was a diary and his closest confidant. In the hundreds of hours of footage, Hoon meticulously documented his life—his family, his creative process, his television, his band’s rise to fame, and his struggle with addiction. He filmed his daughter’s birth, and archived the politics and culture of the nineties, an era right before the internet changed the world. Created with his own footage, voice, and music, ALL I CAN SAY is a uniquely intimate, kaleidoscopic exploration of experience and memory in the age of video. It is also Shannon Hoon’s last work, completed twenty-three years after his death.
