News Items

New In Print

Genesis Press in London just released a limited edition, hard case/oversized collectors’ edition of definitive photos of Jimi Hendrix — “Classic Hendrix.” It features several of Kim’s Hendrix portraits and the following commentary written by Kim’s former UCLA Film School teacher, award winning screenwriter, Bill Kerby (excerpt): “It wasn’t a particularly good interview I seem to remember; I didn’t do a great job. I only did music interviews to get free entry into concerts! One thing I do remember though is that Jimi loved the photographer, Kim — he thought she was the cutest thing in town… [snip]… So Kim took the photos and one of them, the one of Jimi smiling really cutely, caused a bit of a stir when it was published because no one had ever taken a picture like that of Jimi before.”

Hendrix Definitive Documentary in the works

Producer/Director David Kramer has been working on a documentary on Jimi Hendrix for 13+ years. He is incorporating videographics, animation, and special effects with original Hendrix music, never before seen footage and photos (including several of Kim’s) along with nearly 300 videotaped interviews, this promises to be the most complete definitive documentary ever done on Jimi Hendrix.

Film Wins Documentary Award
