Tom Berninger is a bit adrift. A lover of heavy metal and an amateur horror filmmaker, he’s living at home with his parents in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, his older brother, Matt, is the lead singer of the National, a highly successful band about to embark on an international rock tour. When Tom is invited by his brother to work as a roadie and tour with the band, he accepts the gig with hopes of experiencing the rock star lifestyle and shooting a concert tour documentary along the way. But as Tom struggles with his responsibilities on the road and life in his brother’s shadow, the movie he ends up making isn’t a conventional rock doc but a funny, highly personal story about a fraught relationship between two brothers and a meta documentary about the equally fraught process of making a film.  EM
