In the mid-60s, Jackson C. Frank released a masterpiece of folk music in Britain. This young American songwriter was close to Simon & Garfunkel, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Al Stewart, Roy Harper, Sandy Denny and many others. All of them were influenced by this enigmatic and tormented character. Shortly after the release of his unique album, he disappeared. Wrecked by a series of tragedies in his life, he chose to cut himself off from the world and got trapped by his demons.
Still today, young musicians like John Mayer, Laura Marling or Robin Pecknold perform Blues Run the Game.
This documentary follows Jackson C. Frank's footsteps to unknot the threads of a tragic destiny. Facts and songs don't express everything about a man, a personality. Who was Jackson C. Frank? Who remembers him? Where to find meaning, or even light, in a life as dark as his?

I did the same folk club circuit with Jackson in '65. A pwerful performer who held the audiences spellbound, but his pain shone through his songs. A tragic end to a tortured soul.
I can't wait to hear Jackson's full story. I was born in 94 but I have a deep appreciation for the folk genre and it's history. Jackson's tale was a tragic one for sure God rest his soul. When I hear his voice it echoes in my soul. He helped me get the tears out when I needed to during my separation with my daughter's mother. You never wanted me is an all time favorite of mine.
Great job guys I knew you would pull through. Once it’s finished and out the door I’m buying it ASAP
Me too
Great musician. Too bad I only recently found out about it. From the first three songs, I sobbed for more than half an hour. Each song in his performance seemed to come from the depths of his soul and passes through you when listening
There was no one like Jackson C. Frank. His only obvious peers were Tim Hardin and Tim Buckley, and his most notable successor was Nick Drake.
Thank you Jim Abott and everyone else!
when is this movie done??? where can I watch ????
Really looking forward to seeing this. Great to see John Renbourn in there as well. He’s a hero of mine.
Words cannot express how excited I am to see this film. I'm sure the long wait will be every bit worth it! Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!

Thanks!
Where can one watch/ buy this documentary please?
When will we be able to watch it? We being the people that funded the project in 2018. We haven't even been sent an update on Kickstarter and we were promised a digital copy (which we paid for) when it was finished, which you say it is now?
Hi Bruce,
The movie is finished but not distributed yet, and will be screened in festivals soon (more on Facebook soon), so we can't give access to it at this time.
We know it's a long process, and it has been a long battle to make it.
Thnaks again for your support, and be sure we will make the movie available as soon as we can.
