If you get the opportunity to see this movie - and hopefully it will soon be in much wider release - by all means see it. What we have here is a perfect example of how film can truly make a difference by recording for generations to come a maverick artist who may otherwise have remained unknown to a wider audience. This film not only captures the sounds and the vibe of the music scene of the Pacific Northwest in the 60s and 70s, it also uses footage from interviews with this maverick artist to give a true sense of what it is like to cross boundaries of age, gender and cultural difference to truly connect and understand another person and, through this understanding, capture the essence of another person through photography. There is a lesson for all of us both as creators and appreciators of the arts. This was a true inspiration. Brava!

I feel fortunate to have seen this movie. What a joy. The music, the photographs, the rock legends, the trip back into the 60's alone are reasons to watch the film. Add the iconic 92 year-old star and you have a distinctive slice of American history. Appealing across generations, this movie works at numerous levels—historical, artistic, gender roles and self-actualization to name a few . Watching an active 92 year old who is sharp as a tack makes this baby boomer wonder what I will do for the next 30 years. To see a 49 year-old re-invent herself is inspiring and a lesson in life. What is inside us if we just set if free? If you are looking for an entertaining and worthwhile film, this is it.

Great documentary! "Her Aim is True" is a compelling look at the life and career of Jini Dellaccio, a true pioneer of rock photography. This film is great for fans of photography, rock and roll music, and the rock scene of the Pacific Northwest. I found that Jini's story has been a reminder that photographic art engages us with history, and is therefore indispensable. As an aspiring artist, seeing "Her Aim as True" has made me confident that doing what I love is meaningful. The documentary shows that Jini Dellaccio tapped into the youth and exuberance of the musicians around her, and, without exploiting them, she immortalized them. Filmmaker Karen Whitehead's documentary is a refreshing illustration of artists treating subjects with dignity, of filmmakers and photographers using their craft to foreground the talent of another artist. It's absolutely worth your while!

Two years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Jini Dellaccio for a magazine article I was writing. To meet Jini is to be swept up in the "Jini magic"--for to meet her is to be inspired by her. I am roughly the same age (that would be solidly middle-aged) as Jini was when she began photographing the garage rock bands of the Pacific Northwest, but this was just one remarkable stop on a career she made up as she went along. Jini never met a challenge she couldn't tackle--if she didn't know how to do something, she told people she did and then figured out how to do it. This is why I try to channel Jini now when I find myself thinking I'm too old to try something new. Director Karen Whitehead has perfectly captured the pioneering spirit of this remarkable woman in her film "Her Aim Is True." I've seen it three times, and I still choke up in the same spots. Jini was a woman ahead of her time, but she accomplished what she did without any of the modern-day self-promotion we are so used to; she let the work speak for itself, and it is breathtaking work, make no doubt about it. See the movie if you are a rock history buff (the archival footage is fascinating), but be prepared to come away inspired by the woman who made so many of those bands come alive, all while remaining true to her own vision. Jini is a true original, and we are fortunate indeed to have this film tribute to her life and work.
