Penn Badgley stars in Greetings from Tim Buckley
Greetings from Tim Buckley follows artist Jeff Buckley's (Penn Badgley) eminent 1991 performance at his father's tribute concert in St. Ann's Church. Through a romance with a young woman working at the concert, he comes to understand the father who abandoned him. Culminating in a cathartic performance of his father's most famous songs, Jeff's debut stuns the audience and launches his career as one of the greatest young musicians of his time.
"We are thrilled Celluloid Dreams came on board. We are truly proud of this project and knew they were the perfect partner in making sure Greetings from Tim Buckley found the right home." said Patrick Millings Smith of Smuggler Films.

The one with Reeve Carney is going to be based around Jeff Buckley's life. opposed to this one which will be Jeff but probably more focused on Tim. Also the other one will have actual Jeff Buckley music because his mother (Mary Guilbert) has the rights to all of his music..
