About me: In TELL ME DO YOU MISS ME, the four members of the celebrated New York-based indie-rock band LUNA confront the ceiling of their ambition, the harsh realities of their modest success, and their conflicted feelings about each other as they embark on their final world tour and uncertain futures.
Laced with moments of both humor and melancholia, TELL ME DO MISS ME earnestly exposes the underbelly of a touring rock band in their final days together.
Supported sonically with Luna's dreamy catalog of indie-pop and visually with lush travelogue footage with adventurous stops in England, Japan, and Spain, TELL ME DO YOU MISS ME is an elegy for an era.
TELL ME DO YOU MISS ME received its world premiere at the 2006 edition of The Tribeca Film Festival and has seen glowing press in ROLLING STONE, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, THE VILLAGE VOICE, TIME OUT, and VANITY FAIR.
The film has since been released in a special edition DVD in the USA by Rhino Home Video and in the UK by Warner Home Video.
It continues to play film festivals the world over with recent and upcoming screenings in Israel, Australia, and Taiwan.
Who I'd like to meet: Like-minded Luna fans and cinefiles of distinguised taste.
DUDE! good to hear from you (although Curtis and Elizabeth kinda been keeping us up to date). Loved the Jimmy Scott film (and starting calling TIME AFTER TIME a lot after hearing it in the film). I got to hang a little with Mike Kanan and Hill Green and did some gigs with Cook, so it was great seeing them on screen. Anyway, if yer headed to NYC anytime, gimme a shout!
I love this film. (I own it, that's how much I love it.) It really captures Luna & the crumbling status of the Indie music world. Any more films in the works?
