Customer Reviews
An Unexpected Music Industry Legend
Karen Whitehead's film is an elegant time machine in which we are observers to an extraordinary life. We soon discover Jini Dellaccio is far more that just photographer, she is a loving wife, loyal friend, talented musician and gracious storyteller. I grew up in Portland and Seattle, Her Aim Is True captures both Jini's spectacular photography and the unique Northwest 60s punk and rock culture. In her 40s her revolutionary black and white photography created iconic album covers for The Sonics and The Wailers. Later Jini's would photograph the early performances by The Who, Rolling Stones, Mitch Ryder and Mamas & Papas. Karen captures every element with raw cinematic artistry.
Her Aim Is True
Great movie about an incredible woman photographer. Jini was there at the beginning of rock and roll documenting some of the biggest names in music and this film showcases her amazing talents and story.
Great Discovery, Karen!
I love stories about undiscovered ‘sheroes’ and this movie, “Her Aim Is True,” really delivers. The production and music make Jini come alive in a warmly personal way. It makes you want to sit down with Jini yourself and have your own chinwag with her :-) Karen has done a great job of capturing Jini's inspirational spirit and love for youthful creativity.
