- Who Owns Jack Kerouac? A film by Jack Shea (circa 2000-2003) - Jack Shea’s Who Owns Jack Kerouac? is a powerful and controversial documentary exploring the relationship between the author of “On the Road” and his never acknowledged daughter, Jan Kerouac (Baby Driver). The film is a record of Shea’s cross-country journey searching for answers to the controversy over Kerouac’s estate. Jack Shea (1950-2004) is an ex-patriot American artist, filmmaker, and singer/songwriter who lived and worked in Edinburgh, Scotland. Beat poet Ron Whitehead called “Who Owns Jack Kerouac” the most important film ever made about Kerouac.
"But in any case, it doesn't matter" says John Sampas about the last letter Jack wrote in hopes of changing his will. John's arrogance masks a deeper truth because it does matter! Thinking deep on the life of Jan, having only an idea of the anguish and pain she felt, my empathy surrounds her because I've always felt an affinity with her. What an interesting and revealing film. Condolences to the Shea family ~
So glad you've put this on RUclips!
Thanks John! I'm glad too!
That was awesome. Nice to see a documentary on Kerouac with some actual bite. Keep up the good work.
-and that coda at the end was unreal. I'm going to be watching and re-watching this so much. Thank you.
Wonderful film. Thank you.
Even if her supporters were misguided, it was her birthright not the Sampas family and although they ended up being administers……..it should have been for her benefit. They would have been entitled to a percentage for administering but not the estate.
Amazing interview footage...I am a big fan of mr. kerouac. wrote a song, Wrote several poetry book manuscripts in the 1990s, 1 published. I drove too.
Jack wasnt much of a father. And Jan needed a father.
You are correct. Jack was a terrible father
This was a great artsy film. I loved it. I'm a big Kerouac fan. I finally got to see more of Jan on film. Who is the guy at the end of the credits who said he was going to every state to see how people hang out? I want to read it.
I think it was about the money.
He didn't get famous by chance. He was an Industry plant.
Jack was a lush
Toyota or a Honda not some GM junk
GM 3.8 Liter 6 cyl was one of the Best Engines ever made! Any mechanic will tell you. I drove one across country myself. Easy to work on and get fixed. Even today the only older American cars still on the road are 90's LeSabres and Park Avenues! Jack would have been proud.
i read a book recently and it said they had the same blood but that does not mean he was her father...a lot of people have the same blood
A man takes care of his offspring instead of being a lifelong mama's boy. Period.
