If you recall, I covered screenwriter Ryan Jaffe (C'96) when he wrote THIS film a couple years back.

Since then, Ryan, has penned a script about the life of singer Jeff Buckley.

In case you're not familiar with who Jeff Buckley is, per Deadline,

"Buckley, son of the famed but troubled folk musician Tim Buckley, became an influence on musicians from Kurt Cobain to Coldplay. He shunned the spotlight, though, preferring to play small clubs and who for a long time played as a session guitarist to make a living. He recorded one hit album, "Grace", and was on his way to doing another when he jumped into Tennessee's Wolf River, fully clothed, for a spontaneous swim. He got caught in the wake of a passing boat and drowned."

After the jump, learn how Ryan got involved in this project and how perseverance paid off (must read!)
