One of the films at TIFF 2012 is Greetings From Tim Buckley, which tracks the journey of Penn Badgley as musician Jeff Buckley laying claim to the legacy of his late father and fellow musician Tim Buckley.

The movie also has a metal connection, with Anthrax bassist Frank Bello playing the role of punk icon and Buckley contemporary Richard Hell.

Sarah spoke to Bello about the crazy whirlwind that was playing Hell in the film as well as whether or not Badgley successfully pulled off his role as Jeff Buckley.
