Things Behind the Sun is a 2001 film starring Kim Dickens and Gabriel Mann and directed by Allison Anders. Its title is taken from a song by Nick Drake.
Owen (Gabriel Mann), a young reporter for a Los Angeles-based music magazine, goes back to the Florida town he grew up in to interview Sherry (Kim Dickens), a local rock singer. Sherry and her band are becoming increasingly popular, largely because of a song she wrote about being sexually assaulted as a girl that has become a hit on college radio. Owen's reasons for returning to his hometown are more than professional, however: he and Sherry were friends in childhood.
