Akio Sakurai has dedicated his life to honoring Jimmy Page. For 30 years, he recreated vintage Zeppelin concerts note-for-note in small Tokyo clubs, until the real Jimmy Page stopped by one night, and Akio’s life changed forever. Inspired by Mr. Page’s ovation, Akio quits his “salary man” job, leaving behind his family to move to L.A. and join “Led Zepagain.” Soon cultures clash, and Akio’s idyllic vision of America meets with reality. An auditory delight for music fans everywhere, this enthralling film received Led Zeppelin's blessing to feature music from more than twenty-five of their songs as performed by Mr. Jimmy. Prepare to be inspired by MR. JIMMY, an extraordinary story of passion, music, and the pursuit of dreams.
Mr. jimmy graced the stage at The Space LV in 2022 as part of his documentary ramp up tour. We provided a multi-camera capture, with the inimitable Peter M. Dowd on handheld.
This work took home a Bronze Telly Award in 2023.
