Blind Melon guitarist Christopher Thorn discussed Danny Clinch’s new Shannon Hoon film in a new Long Island Pulse interview with Greg Prato.

I just hung out with Danny last week and he was saying they’ve been carving on it and carving on it. I know at one point, it was like a five-hour cut, and they had to get it down to a proper hour-and-a-half cut. But it’s all really good stuff. I’ve seen some clips and it’s going to be great. It’s the most powerful footage you will see of Shannon, because it doesn’t get any more intimate than somebody filming their life.

To the incredible Blind Melon fans and supporters of our kickstarter campaign - First of all, we appreciate your continued patience. Making a film is a long process, but we’ve made significant headway and are moving into to the final stages. To be successful, a project of this scope involves a lot of people and requires careful decision-making along the way. For example, we needed to make sure all necessary legal documents were in place—a process that took longer than we initially thought. We’ve taken care of those important items, and we’re now turning the corner , and we are excited about getting it to the finish line. Moving forward, we will provide updates on a more regular basis, and we’re excited to show you all this special film—we believe it’ll be worth the wait! Thank you from my team and Blind Melon family.
