Matt Berninger
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
      [on his film 'Mistaken for Strangers'] The coolest thing is we've heard that a lot of therapists have been talking about the movie and recommending it. We all have the most complicated relationships with our family and our siblings, and I think a lot of therapists found that the movie digs into the awkward truth of how we relate to each other. Every time we show it, people talk about how they want to call their sibling, or parents talk about wanting to call their kids who may have gone off on different paths.
