Bryce Dessner
In 2010, rock band The National were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career. After ten years as a band, and five critically acclaimed albums, they were finally enjoying wider recognition. Lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother, Tom, to join the tour's crew. A budding horror filmmaker, Tom - who is nine years younger than Matt and listens exclusively to heavy metal - decided to bring his camera along. Tom's at sea in the world of indie rock, and living in his brother's shadow brings out the younger sibling in him - he drinks, complains, and struggles to balance his ambition with his tour responsibilities. The result is a film about brothers and about making something of your own.

    • Quotes
      To me a song like 'Demons' or 'Trouble Will Find Me' are acknowledgments that you can't really plan for life and you can't plan for trouble. As much as you try to organize your life, your life will surprise you. And sometimes trouble's not a bad thing. In terms of the music it almost feels like it's a good thing - you never know when a song is going to surprise you. We look for these subversive moments in songs.
