From Independent Spirit Award-nominated director Eric Daniel Metzgar (The Chances of the World Changing, 2006) comes a beautiful and inspiring story about recovery, family and music. Jason Crigler, a brilliant guitarist living and working in New York City, suffers a debilitating brain hemorrhage during a 2004 concert in Manhattan. The doctor's prognosis is dire; it is doubtful he will ever walk, play guitar or be able to live outside of a facility again. His pregnant wife and family refuse to accept this future for Jason. Instead, they decide to take his recovery into their own hands and reactivate his brain with daily stimulation and countless acts of love. Will Jason be able to make this epic journey and return to his old life? Told with remarkable humanism and sensitivity, Life. Support. Music. is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and to the power of relationships.

I completely agree, too, that this slipped through the cracks. Having also survived a brain hemorrhage, I can say this film captures the essence of a family's shock, and the determination to recover through a long and very difficult "illness". If the screenings had been a little more spaced out, I would have recommended it to a few people who are currently recovering from the same thing.
