Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison

"One man. Countless myths. And in between lies the truth."

Documentary film about the iconic 1960s-era poet, songwriter, and vocalist of the Doors. Unlike prior Morrison media, Before the End’s focus is on the humanity behind the hype, including Jim’s formative years. The documentary features exclusive interviews with his brother, Andy Morrison; cousins Ellen Edwards and David Backer; high school swim coach, Ash Jones; college roommate, Bryan Gates; Doors-era lovers Judy Huddleston and Anne Moore; Doors booking agent, Todd Schiffman; Doors roadie, Gareth Blyth; and the first appearance by Jim’s Paris-era personal assistant, Robyn Wurtele.
