Everybody Here Wants You will explore Buckley's life and career, which tragically ended in 1997, when Buckley was 30, in a freak swimming accident. Roberto Schaefer will serve as cinematographer. Producers on the film include Buckley's mother, Mary Guilbert, and Alison Raykovich, manager of his estate and VP of Jeff Buckley Music, Inc.

Production will commence in fall 2021.
