Watch :: Opening Minutes Elliott Smith Film Heaven Adores You

The first four minutes of a new documentary directed by Nickolas Rossi about late musician Elliott Smith have been posted online.

The clip - watch below - from Heaven Adores You - which was Kickstarter funded in 2011 - contains a 1998 conversation with Smith about his performance at that year's Academy Awards, where he was nominated for his contribution to Good Will Hunting, 'Miss Misery'.

Nickolas Rossi's film contains interviews with friends and relatives, including Smith's sister Ashley, former bandmates and collaborators Jon Brion, Larry Crane, Neil Gust, Tony Lash, Brandt Peterson, Rob Schnapf, Kill Rock Stars' Slim Moon, and others.

Smith died from stab wounds to the chest in 2003 in Los Angeles. He was 35. The autopsy evidence was inconclusive as to whether the wounds were self-inflicted. At the time of his death, Smith was working on his sixth studio album, 'From A Basement On The Hill', which was posthumously completed and released.
