    • Trivia
      'Jason Behr' did not know how to play the guitar prior to this movie. A guitar consultant was brought in and Jason dedicated most of his free time during shooting to learn how to play four songs very well. According to director and writer 'Rebecca Cook', 'Dominic Monaghan' didn't know how to play an instrument either.

    Shooting Livien a Beautiful Rock Drama
    Shooting Livien a great beautiful Rock Drama by Rebecca Cook. This was excellent filmed in a sort of POV from John Livien's (Jason Behr) vision. John Livien plays in a band with two of his friends Owen(Dominique Monaghan) and Robby(Joshua Leonard) and are trying to make it in the music business. Along the way you will get a look in Livien's mind, and experience his fears, his past and his drug addiction, that lead up to his craziness and dysfunctional life.

    The music that goes with this movie is outstanding and was done by Fionn Ó Lochlainn. It fits the movie and the lyrics give also a clear view how dark Livien's mind is.

    One of the items in the "Special Features" on the DVD is Behind the Scenes. Filmed and produced by Scott Eathorne. It was very well done, and it also includes some scenes that weren't used in the original movie.

    I loved it and can recommend it very highly if you want to buy the DVD.
