Jason Becker was a musical prodigy, picking up the guitar at five years old, performing virtuoso solos at sixth grade talent shows, and signing a record deal at 19. But the following year, about to go on tour with David Lee Roth, Becker started limping and falling during performances. He was eventually diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and was soon no longer able to hold a guitar. He lost the ability to speak and was given three to five years to live. But, as Jesse Vile’s award-winning first film reveals, that was not the last time we would hear of Jason Becker. NOT DEAD YET is must-see cinema and a testament to a true musician.

Jesse trained in film production in his hometown of Philadelphia before moving to London to work in feature film development. He later took the job as producer of the Raindance Film Festival for three successful years. Jesse has directed and produced shorts and promos that have screened at festivals in the US and the UK including a short documentary directed by Jonathan Caouette. 'Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet’ is his first feature length film.
