Production
Initially, Brad Pitt approached Jeff Buckley's mother, Mary Guibert, about making a film revolving around Buckley. Guibert agreed, but remained skeptical of Pitt starring as her son. The two kept in touch about a potential project. Amy Berg then approached Guibert about making a film about Buckley, however, Guibert was skeptical of Berg transferring from non-fiction filmmaking to narrative. Berg decided to instead make a documentary, with Guibert granting Berg access to archive, and Pitt executive producing alongside helping digitize and preserve Buckley's belongings.[4][5][6]
