Tribeca Film’s showing off a new trailer for Greetings from Tim Buckley, the dramatic film showcasing singer/songwriters Jeff and Tim Buckley. Penn Badgley tackles the role of musician Jeff Buckley and Ben Rosenfield plays Tim. Daniel Algrant directs the drama, which is set for a limited release on May 3, 2013.
The Plot:
In 1991, a young musician named Jeff Buckley (Badgley) rehearses for his public singing debut at a Brooklyn tribute show for his father, the late folk singer Tim Buckley. Struggling with the legacy of a man he barely knew, Jeff finds solace in a relationship with an enigmatic young woman (Imogen Poots) working at the show. As they explore New York City, their adventures recall glimpses of Tim’s (Ben Rosenfield) 1960s heyday, as he drives cross-country with a girlfriend and finds himself on the verge of stardom.
Leading up to the now-legendary show that launched Jeff’s own brilliant career, Greetings from Tim Buckley is a poignant portrait of a father and son who were each among the most beloved singer/songwriters of their respective generations.
