Plot
“ It's an absolutely true story," Kaylan said. "It was our first trip to London, and we met Graham Nash, Donovan, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles—who played us Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band before it was released—all on the same night! I wound up eating dinner with Hendrix at 4 a.m. and getting violently ill and puking all over his red velvet suit![1] ” My Dinner with Jimi received the best screenplay award at the 2003 Slamdunk Film Festival in Park City, Utah, and was well-received when it was shown as part of the Santa Monica Film Festival.
