"I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song"

“Every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong
So I’ll have to say I love you in a song.”

"I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" is a personal documentary exploring the life and music of folk icon Jim Croce through the eyes of the filmmaker, whose father introduced him to Croce’s songs as a child. Decades later, he returns to that music as a way of reconnecting—with his father, with memory, and with the emotions tied to both. Through archival footage, performance, and reflection, the film becomes a quiet exploration of legacy, loss, and the lasting power of a song.
