Jeff Finn
Jeff Finn is an experimental artist, writer, musician and filmmaker. Finn prides himself on independent investigative research.

~~~

In July 2012, Los Angeles-based Z-Machine Productions broke ground on Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison, an independent docuseries about the iconic and infamous 1960s-era musician, poet and filmmaker. Before the End is unlike prior Morrison-related media in that its focus is on the humanity behind the hype, including Morrison's formative years, via filmed interviews [featuring an exclusive with Jim's brother, Andy Morrison] with those who knew the boy and/or the man in contrast to the mythic rock star. The 3-part documystery also deconstructs Morrison's controversial Doors era and mysterious alleged demise in Paris at age 27 in July 1971.

Director, writer and researcher, Jeff Finn, has logged 38 years of research into Morrison's life and death. During production on the documentary, he interviewed 1,000 people connected to Jim, 130 of them on-camera. Before the End is "unauthorized" largely in that it seeks the unvarnished truth.

Thanks to those who experienced him as a person, as opposed to a persona, Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison finally will reveal the REAL James Douglas Morrison.

Streaming begins in the US and the UK on January 13, 2025 via Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and YouTube TV. Plans are underway for future streaming releases in France, Germany, Japan, etc, along with a possible limited-edition director's-cut DVD box set.
