    • Trivia
      When director Jesse Vile first approached Jason Becker about doing the film, Becker was reluctant at first because several other people had attempted to make films in the past and gave up. To try and convince him, Vile accessed as much available online content as possible and created a teaser trailer based on his vision for the film. Jason loved it and gave him the green light.

    A truly remarkable man with a remarkable family
    Being a huge music fan, I knew of Jason Becker but was never a big fan of the 80s neoclassical metal genre and was not familiar with his music. Now I realize what a remarkably talented musician he is. At the age of 20, he was following in Steve Vai's footsteps with David Lee Roth. Fortunately his musical talents extend far beyond fretboard dexterity; he is a very gifted composer and is able to continue using that gift. The documentary provides a window into how Becker copes with ALS and how his family and friends both support him and receive inspiration from him. I found this to be a moving documentary, and really wanted to be able to tell Becker what an amazing individual he is.
