09-Oct-12Jason Becker Documentary To Be Screened In New York City Next Month
The documentary about guitar wizard Jason Becker called, Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet, will be screened in New York City at IFC Center on November, 9th at 10 PM. Tickets will be available beginning October 12th.
A guitar prodigy, Jason Becker burst onto the music scene at the tender age of 13, garnering notice from major industry players. In 1991, at age 19, Jason was hired as the lead guitarist in David Lee Roth’s band, the most coveted guitar gig at the time, but he never made it on tour. Doctors diagnosed him with Lou Gehrig’s disease and said he would never make music again, let alone live to see his 25th birthday. Twenty-two years later, without the ability to move or to speak, Jason is alive and making music with his eyes.
Jason Becker : Not Dead Yet is a feature-length documentary film that tells the incredible story of a guitar legend who refuses to give up on his dream of being a musician despite the most incredible odds. It is a story of dreams, love, and the strength of the human spirit.
The film has been made with the full co-operation of Jason and the Becker family, who have given their consent for this to be the first feature-length documentary film about his life. They have provided their entire family archive of never-before-seen photos and footage.
